Stephen has been instrumental in taking my game to the next level. He has identified some key positioning an footwork errors that previous instructors never either noticed or mentioned. I look forward to working with Stephen for a long time to come!

What you need to bringEvery student should bring your paddle, wear the proper shoes, water or favorite liquid and a towel. Running shoes are not good for this sport because they do not provide the proper lateral stability, support and maneuverability like all-court shoes do. Also running shoes may stick on the surface and cause you to fall. I highly reccoment all-court tennis or pickleball shoes. They are made specifically for these court conditions.

What I can bringI have a limited amount of demo paddles, so if you need one, I will be able to supply up to 4 paddles for you to demo. (up to 4 players) I will supply pickleballs.
