What Our Students Say …
I have been playing Pickelball for 4 months now and come from a college tennis background. Jim has helped me with my transition by means of controlling my paddle grips, paddle swings and smart placements of my shots. He has helped me understand yellow, green and red zone defensive strokes that have helped me become a better defensive player as well. Thank You Jim!

Brenda Milum
Jim has been so helpful in improving my game. He watches me play and will point out things I can improve on and he coaches me as we play together. I always enjoy his drills class and any advice he passes on.
Kay Wilson
Jim, you have given me some great ideas to build my skillet and help retrain my muscle memory from tennis to pickleball. I am not trying to be a 5.0 player, but I would like to be competently skillfully competitive and have fun..win, lose, or draw.
