Testimonials
Coach Jon is very experienced and can work with players from beginner to advanced. I had been playing pickleball for a while without private lessons and developed some bad habits. He recognized them right away, and I saw improvement immediately.
For beginners, I highly recommend learning from Coach Jon from the start. Bad habits are much harder to break later. If I can turn back time…😆

If you’re looking for a coach who will make your pickleball game look gorgeous, then Coach Jon is your guy! Coach Jon is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the why behind shots, serves, and dinks. He will keep the lesson entertaining while pushing you.

I have had amazing coaches, all my life, in sports, in business and in life. John is one of the best I’ve ever worked with. He is not only taking my game to a new level, but he is investing in making me a better person. John is different, he cares a lot not only about his clients but about people in general and that makes a difference. Plus, I’m about to take the world championship and over 50 Pickleball! Hire him now!

Our office did a team building event with coach Jon and we had an absolute blast! Not only did we learn some valuable skills to help improve our game, but we laughed a lot and had so much fun the whole time! I would highly recommend JB Pickleball!!

Coach Jon is truly an amazing coach. I have learned so many essential skills and techniques from him that have greatly improved my game and movements while also helping me avoid injuries. When he noticed that my right knee was slightly injured, he immediately taught me proper footwork and corrected my posture, which reduced strain and prevented further injury. Before learning from him, I didn’t realize there were so many correct and effective ways to move and play safely. He is not only a highly skilled coach, but also a very kind, patient, and sincere person. I truly appreciate everything I’ve learned from him and highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their game while protecting their body.

Great pickleball instruction given by an even greater individual. Coach Jon has a wealth of knowledge and experience in racquet sports. He is able to confidently assess what needs work in your game and can explain it in a way that's easily digestible to new players. I enjoy working with him as he loves teaching and makes a concerted effort to grow the sport. Dallas is very blessed to have him. I am finally able to play the sport with FINESSE, ELEGANCE, AND GRACE. Thank you!

Coach Jon is the best coach I’ve ever had. Before him, all my shots were flying across the parking lot—pretty sure I dented a few cars. Now they actually land near the baseline! He didn’t just fix my game… somehow he fixed my marriage too. Honestly, I don’t know if he’s a pickleball coach or a licensed therapist, but either way—Coach Jon is GOATed!

OMG! Coach Jon is one of if not the best PB trainer out here in all the 50 states. My game has leveled up like no other. I’m ready to take on Ben Johns, I’ll tell you that !

WAIT FOR IT! Jon’s three words that changed my game.
Highly recommend private lesions from Jon and so bummed not to have him in Dallas anymore.
Whether you’re new to pickleball or a seasoned player book some lessons from Jon. He will improve your game. We miss him so much!!!

My husband and I have been working with Coach Jon consistently for a couple of months. His lessons are comprehensive and designed to elevate your play no matter the skill level. He emphasizes the importance of practicing consistently to gain confidence, leading to competency on the court. If he sees you out practicing he will give gentle reminders and encourage you to keep at it. Coach Jon is the best……he truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend contacting Jon if you are looking for solid instruction that will impact your play on the court.

I’ve known Coach Jon Balao for over a year and have taken multiple lessons with him. He is not only an excellent coach and player but also a genuinely great person. My game has improved a lot under his guidance. I highly recommend him to players of all levels!

I highly recommend Jon for pickleball lessons. Me and my girlfriend are both complete beginners and Jon patiently worked with us both over several lessons, tailoring his instruction to meet our individual needs and abilities. His coaching is clear and concise with a good blend of covering the basics while also introducing a peek at more advanced concepts. He is very personable, with an easy going approach, that is still challenging. We’re looking forward to improving our experience levels after successfully building a solid fundamental skill set with Jon. I expect we will continue to work with him on a regular basis to polish up existing skills as well as implement more advanced skills once we get a little more time under our belts.

In just a few weeks, my coach turned my pickleball game around. Watching YouTube can’t compete with having a coach who’s laser-focused on your personal game and strategy. He didn’t just fix bad habits fast—he added layers of technique I never found online. Now I’m making shots with timing and placement that videos never taught me, like hitting at the right apex. Bottom line: he’s taken my game from beginner confusion to confident play in record time, and I’m genuinely grateful and highly recommend Jon!
PS I’m playing in my first tournament next month! So excited I got this far!

If you really love pickleball and want to play it well, Jon is the one to see! He put my team and me individually through drills, third shot drops, lobs, overheads, and strategy…which is the most important part of the game!! Love Jon’s guidance and hard work! And he’s always smiling and enjoys his work!!

I have improved my game so much since I started lessons with Coach Jon! He has a great technique for teaching footwork, follow through swings, dinking, and returning lobes! If you want to level up your game, I recommend lessons with Coach Jon!
