I recommend Bacem as a coach because of his tremendous knowledge, experience and his style of explaining things and making it make sense to anyone. I struggled with popping balls, my backhand returns and landing my serve consistently. Learned from Bacem that I don’t need to crush my serve and I just need to land it, now I almost land 100% of my serves. ✅ I also implanting his feedback on how to grip and position my paddle for backhand returns, how to be ready with my paddles at all times, how to anticipate the ball and read the play. I was also advised to focus on watching the opponent how they serve so I know what to expect and how to return it without hitting out or short. Bacem is still my coach and planning to continue to improve my game.

I started pickleball knowing nothing, although I have some Tennis background, but didn’t know the fundamental and the rules of pickleball. First session Bacem focused on teaching me and my wife the basics and the rules. How the scoring works, where to stand to serve and how to serve, how to serve, the kitchen and non volley zone. Then we moved to focus on basic skills effective serve and effective deep returns, how to get into the kitchen and how to move with my partner. I can say I comfortably play recreational pickleball and able to hold my own already moving up to intermediate. I will recommend getting Bacem as as a coach and get the 7 session deal. You will see the improvement in your game if your are passionate about pickleball like me.

I wanted to start playing pickleball in October of 2025, I had Bacem as our group coach, he is very knowledgeable and patient. Focused on teaching us the basics of pickleball and introduction to the game. We don’t really know anything, we were beginner, so we had to learn, serving, scoring, in and out, long and short, non volley zone. After about the third session we got that down, started to focus on landing the serve and getting to the kitchen was something big he was driving for a to do as well as drop shots, dinks and drives. In short 7 weeks we went from beginners to now playing games with intermediate. I recommend to start with the 7 session package and then add as needed based on your specific needs.

My coach was extremely knowledgeable with the sport and provided excellent feedback for me. He took his time explaining the rules of the game and coaching me on all the aspects of the game. I will definitely continue to take lessons from him.
