He’s got the background, patience, and passion of an incredible pickleball player and instructor. He individualizes his lessons, focuses on form and court awareness, and does not waste your time with generic advice. He helped my husband significantly with his serve and worked with me on drive volleys and general footwork. He also does video review (which is my favorite!) He pauses at the right moments to highlight strengths and point out areas for improvement and he summarizes everything into a short list of things you can actually change… > From Beth, 5 out of 5 > Justin was very professional, flexible with time, easy to communicate. I requested a coach can work evening hours, and Justin answered that request. In addition, he was very flexible to adjust the situation and made the first work for both of us. The first training session started with warm up, assessment and a targeted skill exercise. I felt I've already made some progresses. Thank you! > From Sally, 5 out of 5 > Justin is an attentive, thoughtful coach who pays close attention to your body position, posture, and overall technique. He quickly identifies what is affecting your shots and gives clear, practical feedback on how to improve. After my sessions with Justin, my drops and resets improved noticeably. More importantly, my confidence in those shots grew, and I was able to start using them effectively in real games. Justin is also a warm and encouraging person. I love playing 7-11 with him, and I really appreciate that he watches my games and helps me understand which shots I need to work on next.… > From Anand, 5 out of 5 > I initially booked a single lesson with Justin, but I was so impressed after that first session that I immediately signed up for a 10-pack. Justin is an exceptionally attentive and perceptive coach. He closely observes every movement, pinpointing subtle adjustments and offering actionable advice to elevate my game. We worked through everything from serves and third-shot drops to both one-handed and two-handed backhands, as well as offensive and defensive techniques. My overall technique, consistency, and court confidence have improved significantly thanks to his guidance. I highly recommend J… > From Jason, 5 out of 5 > If you want a coach who truly cares about your growth, Justin is your guy! Our 2-hour "Serve and Return" session was structured perfectly, starting with a solid warm-up and then moving into targeted serve and return drills with rotations and routine feedback. Justin was super gracious and hung back after the session to give us extra pointers, plus answer questions and share some awesome general tips for our overall game. It’s rare to find someone who is both a strong player and an easygoing teacher. Can’t wait for the next one! > From Ganesh, 5 out of 5 ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you provide equipment? Students are responsible for bringing appropriate footwear, hydration, and a paddle to these lessons. Balls will be provided for all lessons. ### I can only do a lesson for a certain time at a certain place. How can I fit you into my schedule? I am fairly flexible when it comes to when and where I give lessons. As long as we can get uninterrupted court time, I will work with you to find a way to get our lesson done. ### How much do your lessons cost? A single lesson with me is $85 through my own site. Package lessons start at $85 per lesson, and membership lessons are $75 per lesson, depending on the option you choose. ### Where can I actually take lessons with you? I will work with you to find the best times and places to offer lessons. I do not have sole access to a private court, and most public parks will be too crowded on weekends and weekday nights. If you have access to a private court, I can drive to you as long as you are within reasonable distance to San Jose, CA. ### Do you teach beginners? Absolutely! I offer a three-part Intro To Pickleball series that starts from absolute basics, including but not limited to: the rules of the game, the structure of the court, how scoring works, how to hold your paddle, how to serve, and basic game strategy. The goal of the series is to ultimately prepare you to be able to play full games with friends, family, and/or anybody you might run into at your local pickleball court! As with all of my students, I focus on building solid fundamental techniques that apply to as many areas of the game as possible. ### Do you offer virtual lessons? I do indeed offer virtual lessons! I offer multiple types of video review sessions, depending on your preference and goals. The most common type of virtual lesson I offer is a video review session, where we sit down and review game footage of you. These lessons are often recorded for future reference for both myself and the student. Yes, I teach online through video review sessions. In a live video review, we watch your gameplay together so you can ask questions and receive feedback, or I can review a recording and send you a detailed review with advice and explanations. ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/services/index.md) - [Pickleball Lessons](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/lessons) - [Private Lessons](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/private-lessons/index.md) - [Group Lessons](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/group-lessons/index.md) - [Kids Lessons](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/kids-lessons/index.md) - [Lessons in Fremont](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/areas/fremont) - [Lessons in San Jose](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/areas/san-jose) - [Lessons in Santa Clara County](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/areas/santa-clara-county) - [Vallejo Mill Historical Park, Fremont](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/locations/vallejo-mill-historical-park-fremont) - [Doerr Park, San Jose](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/locations/doerr-park-san-jose) - [Edenvale Gardens Regional Park, San Jose](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/locations/edenvale-gardens-regional-park-san-jose) - [Evergreen Valley College Pickleball Courts, San Jose](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/locations/evergreen-valley-college-pickleball-courts-san-jose) - [Guadalupe River Park (Tennis Court), San Jose](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/locations/guadalupe-river-park-tennis-court-san-jose) - [Paul Moore Park, San Jose](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/locations/paul-moore-park-san-jose) - [The Dome SJ, San Jose](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/locations/the-dome-sj-san-jose) - [Hall Memorial Park, Santa Clara County](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/locations/hall-memorial-park-santa-clara-county) - [Blog](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/blog/index.md) - [Service Form Check: Common Focus Points For Beginners And Intermediates](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/blog/serving-form-check/index.md) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/justin-telmo/llms.txt) ## Book through the API Justin Telmo sells Pickleball lessons on this site.
