Derek is professional and also very patient. We improved a lot under his coaching. I definitely will recommend him to my friends.

Hong F

Our first lesson was great, Derek was friendly, and we could tell he had the skills when he hit everything back to us perfectly!

Linda R

Derek is the coach for you if you want a transformative experience. He will make you fall in love with the game of pickleball all over again. Very personable, will spend the time to get to know you first, and then individualize your lesson so that you can't help but level up your game!

Channing L

Professional, great immediate feedback for technical improvement and strategy. Lots of experience teaching tennis and now pickleball.

He really helped me understand the game in a way that made everything click. I feel like I’m ready to go to open play against other people. Derek’s a great coach.

Our first session went really well. His instruction is very clear and effective. He is friendly and easy to ask questions. Looking forward to having more lessons.

Signed up for 3 lessons with Derek, had my first pickle-ball lesson earlier this week. He was great and enjoyed playing for the first time ever! Looking forward to eventually playing with other folks soon, highly recommend him.

Zohal N

Derek is a great coach. He observes, analyzes and give suggestions to my weaknesses. I’ve already improved in my first lesson!

David C

Derek’s a great guy. We talked before the lesson so he could understand what I wanted to work on going into it. I’m happy with the relationship! I saw an immediate improvement after just one lesson.

Larry R

I’ve taken lessons before, and he’s been the most effective instructor I’ve spent time with. And as an added bonus, he’s an excellent hitting partner during the lesson.

Derek was very instructive and patient. His tennis technique really supports pickleball and my strokes are now definitely improved.
