The Value of Coaching
Coaching gives you direction, feedback, and a clear understanding of what to practice instead of simply hoping more games will solve the problem.
Each lesson is built around the areas that can make the greatest difference in your game.
Make adjustments while you are playing instead of continuing to repeat the same habits.
Structured coaching helps you practice with more purpose and avoid unnecessary trial and error.
Learn techniques, positioning, and decisions that translate directly into real games.
Pricing Questions
Here are answers to common questions about lesson options, scheduling, and choosing the right session.
Beginner lessons or a beginner bootcamp are usually the best starting point. They provide a structured introduction to rules, scoring, technique, positioning, and basic strategy.
A 60-minute lesson is ideal for focused work on one or two priorities. A 90-minute lesson allows more time for repetition, multiple skills, and coached game situations.
Semi-private lessons are designed for a small number of players. Contact James with your group size so the best format and court setup can be confirmed.
You are welcome to bring your own paddle. A paddle can also be provided when needed, especially for beginners who have not purchased equipment yet.
Lessons are primarily held indoors at East Bay Pickleball Club in Warren, Rhode Island, serving players throughout Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
