My lessons are always custom-tailored to your playing and learning styles, physical condition, and goals. I teach two-hour lessons in which the first hour is you learning rules skills, strategy, etc. tuned to what, in my judgement, will improve your game and/or enjoyment of the sport the most quickly. Personally, I am self-competitive and play to improve my mastery of pickleball. I have taught several sports so I bring a variety of skills to maximize your experience of the learning process.
My going rate is $40/hour but the first time I charge half. So, $40 for a 2-hour lesson. I provide all equipment and I can usually teach anywhere around Asheville. You will also have the chance to try out a wide variety of Diadem paddles and see other gear of ours because I am the local Ambassador and reseller here.
I welcome feedback on the Diadem products and how I am doing as a pickleball ambassador and instructor. I hope that you will give me the opportunity to join you in having a blast playing and widening your horizons into a large community of people of all ages, ethnicities, genders, races, and identities. Please contact me so that we may get to know each other and enjoy our time together on and off the court.
So, I invite you to try out one of my classes. At the end of a class, I always ask each student what worked well for them, whether or not they got what they said would satisfy them and what I could do better. So far, no student has admitted 😊 not being satisfied or more. Of course, I learn a great deal about how I can improve my teaching . . . and my own skills.
Thanks for your interest and patience with this long description.
