    FAQ

    Your common questions addressed! Find out more about training sessions, equipment, strategies, and more.

    Do I need my own equipment?

    Nope! Although having your own paddle is beneficial, we provide quality paddles and balls for those in the learning phase.

    What is your coaching style?

    I like to help people play the game the way they can play best.  Not everyone can play a certain style.  I do drills on whatever we may be working on, then play games so can get used to it while actually playing.  I help with footwork and positioning and offer advice on how to play according to what is happening.

    What does a typical session look like?

    Will warm up then go into what ever is needed to work on via drills and playing games.  Since this is a 1 on 1 lesson will wind up hitting a ton of balls and will get grooved fast.  The last 15 minutes or so can play some 1 on 2 games as to I’ll usually be bringing a partner for specifically this purpose.  Will be giving out tactical advice as we go along.  I’ll answer any and all questions as best to my ability.

    Who can take a lesson?

    Will take on anyone from ages 10 to 110.

    Where to play?

    I’ll travel to wherever the person wants to play ranging from Tacoma to Bellevue.  If outside of those areas can meet somewhere between those two points.  If playing indoors at a club, it is the person taking the lesson responsibility to secure a court and pay for it.  I live in Lake Tapps.  If out my way can play at the Tapps Island courts next to the club house.  Has to be dry and not too windy/cold.
