Group pickleball lessons in Long Beach, California

Robin has worked with me individually and in a group setting. In the group setting, he was able to watch all 4 of us play in real time. He also recorded the games and was able dissect it more thoroughly when we were done, He even generated stats for us. He pointed out things like when we should attack vs reset and keep the ball in play. He taught proper positioning for optimal play. Individually, we worked on specific shots that I wanted to learn. We even played a few games together so he can observe me implement them in my game. If you want to level up your play, I would recommend Robin. He is patient, encouraging and is a strong player.

Robin put together a comprehensive assessment for our drilling group and gave us a couple skills to focus on each session based on the feedback he received from our group. The drills were tailored to our needs and what I really found helpful was that he recorded us playing and went the extra step to give us stats based on the recordings. We were given access to strategy concepts that were concise and easy to understand. This definitely helped me level up my pickleball IQ. He also worked with me one on one, giving me some simple adjustments to make with my dinking that had an immediate positive impact on my game.

Robin is an excellent coach and incredibly beginner friendly! I only started playing pickleball 1–2 months ago, and I’m honestly amazed by how much I’ve already learned from him. In such a short amount of time, he has taught me everything from foundational shots to topspin and, most importantly, how to become more consistent. What really sets Robin apart is how knowledgeable and skilled he is as a player. Because he is so consistent and technically strong, he can immediately identify what’s going wrong with a shot, explain why it’s happening, and show me exactly what I need to change to improve it. His feedback is always clear and practical—it immediately makes sense, and I can actually feel the difference in my shots after making the adjustments he suggests. In just one lesson, he was able to teach me almost every foundational shot I needed to know, while still taking the time to make sure I understood the technique behind each one. He is patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping his students improve. I’ve improved so much in such a short period of time, and I feel much more confident on the court because of his coaching. Robin is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and effective and I recommend him to anyone looking to learn pickleball or take their game to the next level!

Robin is an amazing coach. He has a great eye for immediately spotting exactly what you’re doing wrong and, more importantly, he explains how to fix it in a way that actually makes sense. I noticed a huge difference after just one lesson. He helped me learn forehand and two-handed backhand baseline drive returns, two-handed dinks, both forehand and backhand flicks, and also taught me how to serve properly with a ton of topspin. What I really liked is how detail-oriented he is. He pays attention to the small things that make a big difference and gives very specific feedback instead of just generic advice. Definitely recommend Robin if you want to improve your pickleball game and actually understand what you need to work on.

I had a great experience working with Robin as my pickleball instructor. Robin is incredibly flexible with scheduling and always willing to adjust lessons based on what I need to work on. What I appreciate most is how thorough Robin is. Every technique is explained clearly, including the “why” behind each adjustment, which really helps everything click. Robin is also very understanding, patient, and encouraging, making each lesson feel comfortable and productive. Each session feels personalized and focused on helping me improve as a player. I would definitely recommend Robin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating pickleball instructor.

After taking the time to watch me play both with him and against him and recording games I was in, Robin gave comprehensive feedback of my entire game and things I did well and things I can improve on. He went out of his way to make sure I knew the lesson he was trying to teach and why it was important. After, when going through one last pieces of feedback I was struggling with he recorded himself pointing the paddle face the way I was doing on certain shots and the way he and other top players do it as a suggestion to further improve my game. Top notch instruction that was helpful and the game to show how effective the skills he teaches are.
