"“Justin is by far the best pickleball instructor I’ve worked with. As a beginner, I appreciated how proactive he was instead of just feeding balls and moving on. He constantly gave helpful feedback, explained the purpose behind each drill, and made sure I understood what I was working on. I learned more in one lesson than I had with other instructors. If you’re serious about improving, Justin is the coach you want.”
