A great experience overall! > From Michelle, 5 out of 5 > I signed up to take a series of lessons from Alan with the goal of learning the basics of pickleball in order to eventually play recreationally with my partner.

I appreciated that he was clear in the communication and was able to breakdown a new movement step by step so I could easily pick it up. He emphasizes repetition and provided immediate feedback while practicing. By the end of the hour, I felt more confident in my backhand dinking. Highly recommend a lesson with Alan! > From Hanako, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Alan was quite helpful, especially focusing on videos as the lesson highlight. Though I aim to improve my serve, I appreciated how relaxed Alan was in explaining the technique. It’s not about complicated drills, but real useful tips that I can try out on court. I feel like I gained some clarity without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re looking for a straightforward, no-pressure approach to pickleball, definitely consider trying a lesson with him. > From Diane, 5 out of 5 ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I book one-on-one pickleball coaching?
