“Josh is a very good coach.He is very knowledgeable and very patient.. I am not a bad player but he is a lot better than I am. And with.A friendly And constructive voilet me know what I could have done different and my foot positioning. He will take his time and do a drill over until I feel comfortable. I like that he's not pushing to get to the next thing. Sometimes I just watch him play Other People.And I'd like because he practices what he preaches and he does most everything right. He is always willing to help anybody that asks. I get along with him.Great, and everybody else does.Also he makes me feel part of his famiy. If someone cannot get along with josh , I don't think I want to be around them either.ly”

Joshua and Astrid are insightful, dynamic instructors/coaches. They quickly identify where my opportunities are and offer tips and techniques that improve my playing ability. In addition to being excellent players, they make the sessions fun with a variety of skill drills and then applying the skills in a game. What I really appreciate is their listening to the needs of each individual and personalizing the coaching so each person advances in ability.

Excellent coaching, my game has improved dramatically over a short period of time. Josh and Astrid are obviously skilled players but they both have the harder skill of coaching down pat. They watch your form carefully and find an issue that you need help with, then explain and demonstrate how you can fix it and then move on to the next piece. I highly recommend Josh and Astrid as Pickle ball coaches - they are excellent!

I have been taking weekly lessons with Josh and Astrid for 2 months and I have made great improvements in my shot selection and placement. I have learned how to strategize and communicate better with my partner and how to be mentally tough during competitive games.
