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.

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!
