What students say...

"I would recommend Coach Michael to anyone interested in learning pickleball and/or improving their game. He is very skilled at making sure you're equipped with the fundamentals to take your game to the next level. He also has a good eye for identifying areas in one's game that need improvement at any skill level. He is good at breaking down difficult concepts and making them more digestible for the player. In addition, he is patient, kind and professional. His work ethic and passion for tennis are evident in the quality lessons he provides. I have had the pleasure of working with him in both private lessons and group clinics, and I fully recommend both services.

Oh, Kevin’s really good at giving immediate feedback on my shots, which I find quite helpful. Though I still have room to improve on some problem areas, I’m optimistic about focusing on those in upcoming lessons. Honestly, it’s been a pretty constructive experience so far. I’ll still work on my consistency, but overall, I feel more confident in my game. Definitely worth trying Kevin if you want targeted, thoughtful guidance.

Kevin's ability to identify my weak spots and provide clear corrections really made a difference in my lesson. Though I still have some problem areas, I feel like we're making solid progress, especially with the drills that help reinforce what I need to work on. I’d say there's room to keep focusing on those parts for even better results, but I’m encouraged to keep at it. Still, it’s been quite a useful lesson so far.
