What’s My Rating?
I took a group lesson from Tim and his wife at the Eden Prairie CC in Feb 2023 as I was just getting started. It was very informative to learn some of the basics to get started. Tim made it fun and simple to follow. I’ve played with and against Tim the past year now and he is always willing to give you pointers and constructive comments for improving He is a good instructor and student of the game.

I found both the beginner and the practice and play classes very valuable. They were instructive, fun, and engaging. It felt inclusive and supportive. Met some great people. I looked forward to each week. I do feel more confident in my game. I would highly recommend these classes. Thanks Tim and Anne for making these classes so enjoyable!

My wife and I took Pickleball lessons from Tim through the City of Minnetonka Parks Dept. Tim did a great job of making learning the game both fun and easy. It was a great experience. We had never picked up a pickleball paddle and after six lessons we feel very comfortable getting in Open Pickleball at our local spots. I would highly recommend Tim as an instructor and expert on the game.
Great job Tim!

My wife and I stepped on our first pickleball court Feb 2023, with Tim and several others coaching an adult group of beginners. He was stellar on instructing on the basics and fundamentals of the sport. We were so impressed with him, that we signed up for a second multi-week group lesson. Fast forward…my wife is now comfortably playing Intermediate Open Play, and I’ve just started playing 4.0 open play. Our skills on the court can all be traced back to great instruction by Tim, and he was super fun to be around too! I’m grateful that Tim set me up on a solid foundation to compete in this sport and, as much, appreciate how he inspired me to enjoy the game too!
