What our players say

I have had the pleasure of taking pickleball lessons with Dawn Bell for the past three years, and I can confidently say that she has had a tremendous impact on my game and my overall understanding of pickleball.

Over the course of our lessons, Dawn has helped me improve in every aspect of the game, including dinking, serving, court positioning, shot selection, and overall strategy. Her approach to teaching is both hands-on and highly effective. She doesn’t simply explain a technique—she demonstrates it clearly, breaks it down into practical steps, and then works with you to develop the skills and confidence to execute it independently.

What I particularly appreciate about Dawn is her ability to tailor her instruction to the individual player. She takes the time to understand your goals, identify areas for improvement, and work alongside you to achieve measurable progress. Her knowledge of the game, combined with her patience, enthusiasm, and ability to communicate effectively, makes her an exceptional instructor.

After three years of working with Dawn, I have seen significant improvement in my skills, confidence, and strategic understanding of the game. I would highly recommend Dawn Bell to anyone looking to improve their pickleball skills, regardless of their current level of experience.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my pickleball coach, Dawn Bell. She was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond with every lesson.

She taught us so much more than just the basics. Her lessons included excellent drills, a clear understanding of the rules, game strategy, positioning, and the importance of sportsmanship. She had a great way of explaining things that made everything easy to understand and put into practice.

What really stood out was how much time and effort she put into every lesson. She never seemed rushed and consistently gave more than expected to make sure we were learning and improving. Her rates were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and amount of instruction we received.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their pickleball game, whether you’re a beginner or looking to take your skills to the next level. She is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about helping her students improve. We absolutely loved our lessons!

Dawn was a fantastic coach who really helped take my pickleball game to the next level. She made every session fun, engaging, and productive, while giving us practical techniques that were easy to take from the lesson directly onto the court.

I especially appreciated how she helped me better understand strategy—not just how to hit the ball, but how to think about the game and play with more confidence and intention. Dawn created such a positive and enjoyable group environment where we could learn, improve, and have a lot of fun along the way.

I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking to improve their game and enjoy the process while doing it!

I highly recommend my wonderful pickleball instructor, Dawn Bell! She has taught me so much about the game and has helped me improve my skills and confidence on the court. From lobs and third-shot drops to shot placement and overall strategy, she explains everything clearly and makes learning both effective and enjoyable.

She is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and truly invested in helping her students improve. I’ve learned so much from her lessons and always look forward to putting new skills into practice.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their pickleball game, whether you’re a beginner or a more experienced player. I will definitely continue taking lessons from her in the future!

I recently had the pleasure of having Dawn Bell teach my two grandsons, aged nine and seven, how to play pickleball, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience.

My nine-year-old is a very skilled hockey player, but can become quite anxious when learning a new sport. Dawn was wonderful with the boys. She immediately put them at ease, making the lesson fun, encouraging, and completely non-intimidating.

By the end of the lesson, both boys were smiling, having fun, and had clearly learned some pickleball skills. What impressed me most was how comfortable and confident Dawn made them feel. They finished the lesson eager to keep playing and excited to learn more.

I would highly recommend Dawn as a pickleball teacher or coach.
