When I first started playing pickleball, I was eager to improve my skills and take my game to the next level. I kept hearing great things about Pickleball Johnny, so I reached out, signed up for a drills class, and never looked back.  Nearly three years later, I’m still learning something new every single week. The instruction, energy, and attention to detail have made a huge difference in my development as a player.

I highly recommend the DUPR Ratings Clinics hosted by Pickleball Johnny. Johnny McKerr and Vera Chan do an excellent job of organizing these clinics. In particular, I’ve appreciated the random assignment of partners/opponents for these games, the number of games played per clinic, and how quickly the scores are submitted afterwards.

I chose Pickleball Johnny (PBJ) because of the many options he offers: drills, one-on-one coaching, and league. His expert knowledge, interpersonal skills, and honest approach have reshaped and improved my overall playing. I highly recommend PBJ to anyone by who wants to move up to the next level!”

Johnny was the ideal coach for me - he was professional, patient and incredibly perceptive about my strengths and weaknesses. Working with Johnny has improved my game and raised my level of play. I feel more confident and capable when I step onto the court!

The coaching was super helpful for me as I was looking for specific weaknesses and areas of improvement to my game to help me get to the next level. Johnny has a keen eye and was able to pick up the nuances my form to give me pointers to work work on.
