From day one, he’s been unbelievably patient and takes the time to really break everything down in a way that actually makes sense. He doesn’t just tell you what to do—he explains why you’re doing it, which has made a huge difference in how quickly I’ve improved. Over the past two months, my game has improved more than I ever expected. My technique, consistency, and overall confidence on the court are on a completely different level, and that’s 100% thanks to him. He creates such a comfortable learning environment, never rushes you, and adjust… > From Estefanía, 5 out of 5 > can’t recommend this coach enough! Today was my first pickleball lesson, and I was a complete beginner with almost no idea what I was doing. He was incredibly patient, took his time to explain every detail, and was fully dedicated throughout the entire session. He made me feel comfortable, kept encouraging me, and turned what could have been an intimidating experience into something really fun. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate pickleball coach, he’s the one. Thank you for an amazing first lesson—I can’t wait for the next one! > From Tara, 5 out of 5 > The lesson helped me focus a bit on my serve, drive, drop and some back hand practice, I do still need to work on consistency. Jonny’s approach is pretty straightforward, and I appreciated the practical tips he provided. Next time, we will focus on backhand techniques as it is one of my identified weakness. Thanks Jonny, I really appreciate your assistance towards my goal of playing for Jamaica in the ladies over 50 division. L. Fough, RN > From Leonie, 5 out of 5 > Helped me improve my drops and dinks. Improved my shot selection, shot locations and mental game. Providing me with a good strategy as I’m over the age of 60+ and I’m not as fast as the young guns. I have been able to play much better with his coaching, playing smarter not harder and I’m mastering my 5th shot drop and better footwork at the kitchen. > From Mike, 5 out of 5 > Master Fundamentals. Improved my serve. Help me with shot selection, key strategies in the back of the court and when at the kitchen. Helped me improve my footwork and paddle control. Helped me find my paddle grip and which is better for my style of play. Helped me choose which paddle would improve my game. > From JJ, 5 out of 5 > It was beyond my expectations. Very kind, patient, fun, but also pushed us and expedited the beginners process so we can get on the court and start playing! Would recommend to any of my friends, family, and quite frankly anyone that’s willing to learn the game! You will not be disappointed! > From Danny, 5 out of 5 > Great coach. Made the lesson simple and fun! I learned the rules of the game. Learned how to serve, return and get to the kitchen. Also learned Key fundamentals that are helping me focus on improving my game quickly & efficiently. Thank you! > From Melanny, 5 out of 5 > Great coach. Helped me improve Key fundamentals. Taught me his pickleball formula and how to start mastering it to win more games and play more efficiently and smarter, not harder. Serve, Drive, Drop STOP! Repeat! Highly Recommend. > From Elias, 5 out of 5 ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/malanga/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/malanga/services/index.md) - [Pickleball Lessons](https://sites.coach/malanga/lessons) - [Private Lessons](https://sites.coach/malanga/private-lessons/index.md) - [Group Lessons](https://sites.coach/malanga/group-lessons/index.md) - [Lessons in Hialeah](https://sites.coach/malanga/areas/hialeah) - [Lessons in Miami](https://sites.coach/malanga/areas/miami) - [Lessons in Miami Beach](https://sites.coach/malanga/areas/miami-beach) - [Lessons in North Miami](https://sites.coach/malanga/areas/north-miami) - [Lessons in Westchester](https://sites.coach/malanga/areas/westchester) - [Goodlet Tennis Center, Hialeah](https://sites.coach/malanga/locations/goodlet-tennis-center-hialeah) - [McDonald Park, Hialeah](https://sites.coach/malanga/locations/mcdonald-park-hialeah) - [Douglas Park, Miami](https://sites.coach/malanga/locations/douglas-park-miami) - [Flamingo Park (Miami, Beach), Miami Beach](https://sites.coach/malanga/locations/flamingo-park-miami-beach) - [The Lab Pickleball, North Miami](https://sites.coach/malanga/locations/the-lab-pickleball-north-miami) - [Tamiami Park, Westchester](https://sites.coach/malanga/locations/tamiami-park-westchester) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/malanga/llms.txt) ## Book through the API Jonny Malanga sells Pickleball lessons on this site.
