Testimonials

"Working with Coach Jon has certainly improved my game but more importantly he has helped with how I approach my game.  Proper technique, repetition, positioning, explanation, and practice really makes a difference.  Coach Jon can quickly assess your skill set and tailor a program just for you.  Worth mentioning, he has a vision for Orlando Pickleball and he is growing the sport with his enthusiasm.  Keep up the good work and thanks for everything."

David N. (3.0)

Orlando, Fl

"I wanted to start playing pickleball but knew I needed help with technique and strategy.  I reached out to Coach Jon and have not regretted it. While I've taken some group classes with Coach Jon, I have gotten tremendous value from the individual lessons, where he has been able to focus on me and what I need to work on.  I feel more confident on the court now with improved movement and skills. And as a bonus of letting him run me all over the court nonstop-he's helped me loose weight while actually having FUN!"

"I learned to play pickleball from Coach Jon.  From the basic stance, the preparation to hit the ball and the proper grip.  He corrects a lot of my mistakes. I learned a lot.  Thank you Coach Jon."

Steve A. (4.0)

West Virginia

 "I had an incredible

experience with my pickleball coach,

Jon! He is super fun and motivating,

always pushing me to improve. Jon's

ability to identify areas for

improvement and work with me until I

fully grasp the techniques is

phenomenal. He ensures that I drill

properly and is truly authentic and

talented at coaching. I highly

recommend him to anyone looking to

elevate their pickleball game!"

 

Dawn W.  (3.0)

"Found this place as I was looking for an

indoor club to work out due to the outside

unbearable heat. Scrolling through their

website, I saw numerous pickleball lessons

offered by coach Jon. With some skepticism, I

decided to sign up for a semi-private lesson.

To our surprise, coach Jon was impressively

knowledgeable, attentive, helpful and not to

mention, super funny. In only one hour, we

could see significant improvements in our

skills. The next day, I signed up for his drop in

clinic which again tremendously helped with

my serves and movements. Another semi-

private lesson is scheduled for tomorrow.

Since we are from CA visiting Orlando for only

a couple of weeks, we hope to learn as much

as we possibly can from coach Jon before

leaving. Whether you're local or visiting

Orlando and wanting to improve your

pickleball skills then coach Jon is your go-to

guy! Guarantee you will be happy with the

result even for just an hour lesson from him

Best wishes and always DINK RESPONSIVELY!"
