"I worked with Tony in the corporate world for nearly 20 yrs and I knew he was an avid pickleball player who had won several tournaments. However, I had no idea he was also an accomplished teaching professional. Having come from an All-American Honors tennis background, I learned that he had extensive coaching experience with tennis and has been now teaching pickleball. I've taken a few lessons when I am in the area and the experiences have been a ton of fun. He definitely knows his stuff, although I'm not sure if I am going to ever be good enough to give him a challenge on the court. Regardless, he has opened up my eyes to a whole new world of excitement, exercise and socializing opportunities that I never knew existed. Thank you Tony

"An avid golfer for 40 years, I started pickleball casually about a year ago thinking that it would give me something to do in the evenings (we have lighted courts). It quickly became an obsession. Coach Kevin taught me the basics, then the not-so-basics, then finally the strategies and IQ of the game. I am in love. I would rank pickleball now at the same level of passion as golf for me!
