Private lessons for beginners through intermediate period

Here's a warm, personal review for Jeff: --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My sister and I had next to zero pickleball experience when we booked a session with Jeff, and we walked away ready for our first league game. He covered everything we needed to get started — serves, stances, basic rules, and best practices — and managed to make it all feel approachable and fun. What stood out most was how thorough he was without ever making us feel like we were in a lecture. He met us right where we were, kept the energy light, and made sure we actually understood what we were doing and why. By the end of the session, we weren't just going through the motions — we felt like we had a real foundation to build on. If you're a beginner looking for a coach who's patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely nice, Jeff is your guy.

I had an excellent experience working with Jeff. He truly exceeded my expectations in every way. In just a few lessons, I saw noticeable improvement in my skills and confidence on the court. I started as a beginner and quickly progressed to a 3.0 level, which I didn’t think would be possible in such a short time. Jeff is not only highly knowledgeable, but also patient, encouraging, and very attentive to detail. He explains techniques clearly and tailors each lesson to focus on what you specifically need to improve. His coaching style makes learning both effective and enjoyable. I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their pickleball game, whether you’re just starting out or trying to advance to the next level. Thank you, Jeff!

Jeff is a very knowledgeable, patient and skilled instructor whose love of the game comes through in his lessons and classes. His instruction has helped me go from a beginner to a competent player in a few short months. I look forward to continuing to learn from Jeff and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game.

Jeff and I have been co-workers and have played pickleball together in a social environment. He is a very caring man, highly dependable and trustworthy. He is excellent at observing players and situations and offering help and solutions. I count him as a dear friend and a wonderful colleague.

I have played Pickleball with Jeff Zinn for approximately four years and he is an excellent player. He has been a great mentor to many of our Pickleball players at Heritage Eagle Bend. He has a wonderful personality and works very well with people and is an excellent motivator.
