Private pickleball lessons in Nashville, Tennessee

I am providing a review on behalf of my children, Scottie, Fourth, and Georgie. Our kids have been taking lessons with Jamie since March, and we could not have asked for a better introduction to pickleball for the kids. We’ve continued booking Jamie about every other week because the kids just LOVE pickleball and lessons with Jamie so much! She has been incredibly patient with them (bless her heart!) and she keeps them engaged and having fun while still teaching them and improving their game. She explains things easily so they understand, and I just can’t believe how good they’ve gotten! It’s been so rewarding to watch them play and get better, and I get to leave them for a few hours! They’re always so excited to get on the court and are becoming more confident in their development. I can’t say enough great things about Jamie. I would recommend her to everyone. I think she’s the best Pickleball coach you could find in Nashville - she’s a GEM - and the most skilled! And we LOVE to play at Jamie’s private pickleball court in Forest Hills! It’s so easy and completely private, and it’s a BEAUTIFUL home and property! I highly recommend Jamie! -Jordan

My son James has been working with Jamie for quite a while now and we’ve made lessons a regular part of his schedule. James plays with her Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and we’ve been on this schedule fairly consistently since January. James plays at Jamie’s outdoor private court, which is awesome and makes it really easy. They’re great together. He started as a beginner with Jamie and has advanced to an intermediate junior player. The improvement in his game has been pretty impressive. Jamie teaches fundamentals, technique, and strategy. She keeps him moving and drilling so he’s never just standing around listening to instruction. Jamie is also an elite player and knows the game inside and out. James is going to start playing junior pickleball tournaments in the fall and Jamie will continue to coach him through it. I would absolutely recommend her, especially if you have a kid who wants to learn pickleball and play competitively. Jamie is awesome!

I wouldn’t say I’m an expert per se (yet) but I’m an advanced player, and I play competitively at 5.0. I was looking for someone to work with and needed more than someone who could feed me balls. I needed someone at my level to actually play with me and challenge me. Jamie absolutely can. I’ve been hitting with her regularly and her level is exceptional. The Division I tennis background shows immediately. Her hands, movement, pace, consistency and ability to control the ball are all there. We can play competitive points at a high level and she can also stop and pick apart something technical in my game that I need to work on. That combo is hard to find. If you’re already an advanced player and wondering whether Jamie can challenge you, the answer is a definitive yes. It’s been really fun and challenging playing with her, and I love playing at her private home court.

I cannot say enough good things about Jamie! I am a total beginner. Jamie made me feel so comfortable and we have had so much fun. I originally thought I’d take a couple lessons just to learn the basics, but I’ve continued booking with her a few times per week because every time I go I learn something new and leave feeling like a better player. And my body is starting to transform. It is truly a total body workout! I think that’s what I love the most about it! She is patient, positive, incredibly knowledgeable and fun. And she can PLAY!! You should definitely book with Jamie and you’ll be glad you did. Oh and by the way, her private home court is absolutely beautiful and it’s so easy and there’s so much privacy. It’s in the best location too so that’s a huge bonus and makes it super easy for us to get together. Thousand stars for JJ!

Jamie has been such a great find!! I already knew how to play and wasn’t looking for beginner lessons but I wanted to actually improve my game and feel more confident to start playing in tournaments. I have taken two lessons with Jamie (buy one get one free is awesome). I am planning to start working with Jamie at least once a week because I can genuinely see the improvement. She has helped me with everything from consistency and placement to volleys, dinking, and court positioning. I love that she has tailored our lessons to whatever I need. She is incredibly encouraging, so talented, never intimidating, and so much fun to be around! She is pretty special :) I have referred several of my girlfriends to her. I think she’s the best coach in Nashville.

I’m brand new to Pickleball and learned the basics today with Jamie, and I had so much fun! Jamie has a beautiful Pickleball court at a private residence near me in the Green Hills neighborhood which made the whole experience easy, private, and relaxing! I’m excited about playing more socially, and getting a whole body workout from this! I’ve already booked my next lesson with Jamie and of course I highly recommend her!!
