About Harrison

I have coached many beginner Pickleballers from friends and family, to strangers. I would be a great asset for people wanting to get introduced into pickleball and grow confident playing at public open courts with random people. Whatever the client wants to work on, serving, returning, dinking, strategy, etc. I personally see the best improvement with consistent practice. I'm very passionate about pickleball and bringing more people into this great sport.

What students say...

"Great experience. We worked on serves, returns, dinking, overall gameplay. Played a bit longer n worked out great

The lesson with Tommy was quite engaging, especially with the hands-on game play that really helped me see how to put techniques into action. Though I’d like to see more focus on drives and serves in future lessons, I still feel like I left with a better sense of game strategy and timing. Honestly, I’m optimistic about applying what I learned and appreciate how Tommy keeps it practical and straightforward. If you’re into getting real game reps, it might be worth trying him out.

Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 1•Verified ✓
Oh, I’d say this lesson was quite helpful. Encouraging and easy to follow along with, especially when working on my serve, which felt pretty good afterward. The advice to slide at the kitchen line and then replicate that at the baseline was quite helpful, though I still want to improve my wrist action for better paddle handling. Still, I feel like I learned a lot and look forward to trying more lessons with Tommy.

Terri was so great to work with! She made the lesson fun and engaging, and has a wonderful sense of humor. I took my wife along, who has a background in tennis, and was still able to take a lot from the sessions. If you're looking for pickleball lessons, Terri is your person!

Great person to go to if you can't find a drilling partner or if you're coming from Tennis. Was able to increase the difficulty level to what I needed it to be. And learn to pickleball from the source. So is able to identify what you're doing wrong as a Tennis player.
