🩷 "Jay's 'Fun Community' Pickleball sessions are brilliant and inspiring. Whether you're a beginner just starting out or an advanced player looking to hone your skills, these sessions are incredibly accessible and adaptable to all levels. Jay and the team take immense pride in providing all the support and development any player could wish for, and their dedication to fostering growth at every stage of the game is evident, as is their passion for the sport and for teaching it. The banter and laughs are top-notch too." ~ Lauren R.
🧡 "Excellent session Pickleball FUN & Jay! Great to have such an enthusiastic coach who eats and breathes pickleball fun and instructions are given clearly and demonstrated twice for those of us who learn best by observation 😁" ~ Jackie D.
🩵 "The opportunity to play singles against quality opponents is an absolute bonus. At Doncaster Secondary College on a Thursday night, you have the option of either full court, skinny or 8 minutes of drills for each rotation. When you want to really challenge yourself you can play against Jay. At the very least it can be a great learning experience. Jay is always happy to provide feedback on technique and strategies if requested. The players can change slightly each week but the healthy competition in a relaxed and supportive environment does not. I thoroughly recommend this session, which is open to everyone, to any players looking to improve their game." ~ Greg L.
💖 "Pickleball with Pickleball FUN is a fantastic experience. Jay is an organised, patient, and knowledgeable coach who takes us through drills and match-play scenarios to help us to understand strategies and techniques. Above all, it is a great workout and heaps of fun and everyone is welcoming and friendly." ~ Ed F.
🤎 "The drills with Jay were really valuable for my progression in pickleball. Not only did I get some really good insight and coaching on my serving and game play technique, but Jay also does a fantastic job of breaking down the game strategy that is appropriate for my current playing ability. I am confident that I can take what I learnt today and run these drills in my own time to continue improving on my pickleball game." ~ Tiffany H.
💜 "I had a fantastic pickleball drill session with Jay, focusing on serves, returns, drives, and resets. Jay's coaching was clear, encouraging, and highly effective, helping me refine my technique in all aspects of the game. His attention to detail and ability to tailor drills to my skill level made the session both challenging and rewarding. Highly recommend Jay for anyone looking to elevate their pickleball game!" ~ Ken T.
💚 "Jay’s ability to connect with all ages and levels of play to improve their game is clear to see. The explanations provided for the strategies and skills were a great help in understanding the game and how to improve and ultimately succeed. Taking the time to stop and read the opponent’s shot before moving has helped me immensely. I recommend Pickleball FUN sessions for all those looking to improve their Pickleball game!" ~ Simone N.
💛 "This is the first time I have experienced practice with a ball machine. Specifically, we worked on my third shot drop and drive. It was also fun trying other shots such as overhead smashes and speed-ups in the Kitchen. You will hit 100s of balls, it's a good workout. Jay's coaching is an added bonus one on one, excellent. I highly recommend it." ~ Rob P.
