Profile
I spent decades playing squash. I started playing Pickleball in 2014. Conventional wisdom is that Pickleball is a very easy game to play. This is true. What you are not always told is that it is a very hard game to play well.
I realized this very early and took it upon myself to study the professionals. I not only wanted to know their shots, but also when, where and why to hit them.
I began teaching the basics in 2016.
In 2017, my partner Joan and I won gold at the Ontario Senior Games South Central Region and bronze in the Pickleball Association of Ontario tournament.
I enjoy teaching and seeing the the joy people get when successfully playing and socializing with our great game.
I look forward to sharing my skills and enthusiasm for the game with other Pickleball converts.
Coaching Methods
We always begin with the basics.
Rules and court courtesy.
How to hold the paddle, hit the various shots, plant your feet and move around the court.
There are many different shots and many variations of each of these shots.
In beginners clinics we teach the basics of the Serve, return of serve, dinks, third shot drops, drives, volleying, overheads, lobs and how to play with a partner.
We not only show the basic shots and normal preferred targets, we also explain why we are recommending the targets.
When people complete the beginners clinics they can simply join in playing the game or enjoy:
I am always available to review your game with you.
