Jerry’s coaching philosophy:

• Have fun
• It is never too late to learn
• Enjoy the process of improving
• Set goals and work hard to achieve your goals
• Never stop growing, never stop learning
• Finally, there are many ways to play pickleball.  There is no (exact, correct) technique that applies to everyone.  There are fundamental basics that will allow a player to improve.  Once they have a firm grasp of these basics, a player needs to further develop their individual game with their unique style and strengths
