- Coach private and small-group pickleball lessons for mixed ages and skill levels.
- Provide individualized feedback on technique, movement, and strategy.
- Create simple, effective lesson plans tailored to each student's specific goals.
- Communicate promptly and professionally with clients regarding lesson logistics.
