Jessica Graziano· 4 months agoLessons with Paul at RipPickle are a ton of fun!! As beginners, we didn’t know what to expect but Paul is patient to teach us the basics. His approach is to teach as you play which is so much more enjoyable - you feel like you really swung the racket and learned the moves!! We continue to take lessons with Paul each time we are in Fort Lauderdale - it’s a highlight of our trips!!
Churvill· 3 months agoI come from a background of tennis and table tennis, so picking up pickleball felt natural, but having the right coach made a huge difference. My trainer has been amazing. He really understands the game and explains things in a way that is easy to follow and apply on the court. What I appreciate the most is his patience. No matter how many times we repeat a drill or if I ask a lot of questions, he stays calm, encouraging, and supportive. That kind of attitude makes learning the game a lot more enjoyable. He also has incredible endurance. He keeps the energy up the entire session and never seems to slow down. On top of that, he is very friendly and easy to work with, which makes every training session fun. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get better at pickleball, especially if you come from a tennis or table tennis background like I do. He is a great coach and a great person to train with.
John Moore· 4 months agoPaul gave my wife and I, the best introduction to pickleball. He was patient, loves the sport, and was very easy to follow — we had a great time. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn the game.
Inna Shapiro· 4 months agoPaul is great, very patient with new players:) I really enjoyed my lessons, and i am sure you will too!
Peter Gray· a year agoThe entire experience with RipPickle was brilliant. I had never played before, so this was a complete Rookies beginner inquiry. My call for details was handled in a cool, calm and professional manner, with great sharing of info between us to establish a baseline. Paul is a great teacher, (and player), BTW. We covered everything from the rules, positions, serves, shots, scores, and some inside game tips. We had a ton of fun, in a very relaxed atmosphere, and I’m looking forward to the next time I play and utilize the stuff that Paul taught me. If you need help, I’d highly recommend RipPickle.
