“I took my first pickleball lesson with a friend, and it was our first time playing. Allen was fantastic at introducing us to the game. He made the lesson fun, engaging, and easy to follow. We had a great time and are already looking forward to our next session. Highly recommend Allen for anyone wanting to learn pickleball!”

I can’t say enough about him. My game has improved Soooo Much !!! Allen keeps drilling me over-and-over until I get it, then again next lesson. I love how my body is getting the muscle memory so I don’t have to think so much, just react.
I look forward to every lesson. I do a lesson twice a week now because I enjoy it so much

I loved my first lesson with Allen. He made learning pickleball fun and easy with clear tips, lots of encouragement, and a relaxed vibe. It was easy to follow and helped me gain confidence in the game. If you’re new to pickleball, Allen’s lessons are definitely worth trying! 👋
