Adults and seniors (18+). Most of my students are adults working on getting from 3.0 into the 4.0-4.5 range. ### Can I start as a complete beginner? Yes. We'll start with grips, serves, returns and footwork so you can rally in open play quickly, with clean technique you won't have to unlearn later. ### Do I need my own pickleball paddle? No. I have loaner paddles and bring balls. If you're thinking about buying one, I'm happy to recommend options for your game and budget. ### Where do lessons take place? Public courts in Austin: South Austin Recreation Center (1100 Cumberland Rd), Mary Frances Baylor Clarksville Pocket Park, and Brentwood Neighborhood Park. Pick the one closest to you when you book. ### Can I take a lesson with a friend or family member? Yes. Book the Bring a Friend package for 2-4 players. The per-person price drops as the group grows, and it's ideal for doubles partners. ### What happens during the first lesson? About 10 minutes of hitting so I can read your game, then focused reps on the 1-2 things costing you the most points. You leave with 2-3 specific things to practice before next time. ### What ages and levels do you teach? Adults and seniors (18+), from first-timers to 4.5. My specialty is helping 3.5-4.5 players sharpen their hands, speed-ups and transition game. ### Do you offer video analysis? Yes. I use PB Vision to break down match footage. Send a clip through Tape Review for a written breakdown with your top 3 fixes, or add film review to a 5-lesson pack. ### What's your cancellation policy? Free cancellation or rescheduling up to 24 hours before your lesson. ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/services/index.md) - [Pickleball Lessons](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/lessons) - [Private Lessons](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/private-lessons/index.md) - [Group Lessons](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/group-lessons/index.md) - [Corporate Events](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/corporate-events/index.md) - [Lessons in Austin](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/areas/austin) - [Brentwood Neighborhood Park, Austin](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/locations/brentwood-neighborhood-park-austin) - [Mary Frances Baylor Clarksville Pocket Park, Austin](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/locations/mary-frances-baylor-clarksville-pocket-park-austin) - [South Austin Recreation Center, Austin](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/locations/south-austin-recreation-center-austin) - [Blog](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/blog/index.md) - [Pickleball Lessons Austin: 5 Drills to Win Hands Battles](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/blog/pickleball-lessons-austin-hands-battle-drills/index.md) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/john-lamm/llms.txt) ## Book through the API John Lamm sells Pickleball lessons on this site.
