I had my first Pickleball lesson with Gregory Storm. It was nothing short of wonderful we trained we played. He spoke my language. I would recommend him to anyone from a beginner to a professional to get a Pickleball lesson from Gregory Storm.

What a fabulous clinic hosted by Greg Storm today. Great teacher, learned many new concepts. Kept the pace moving, we all got to try each technique. Bonus we all received a free paddle! All ages and all abilities attended and we all learned from each other. Fabulous day!! Thank You Greg!

I took a clinic with Greg and at first was slightly skeptical but within minutes I realized he knew what he was talking about and even more important was able to communicate to us exactly what we needed to do! Can’t wait to apply all that I learned!

Fabulous beginner lesson. Gregory was professional from the beginning as we worked through a meeting location, how many players would be in attendance, and discussing how often we have played. 6 of us joined in and unfortunately, due to the Canadian wildfires, we couldn’t be outside. Gregory navigated it just fine and found an indoor location for us to complete our lesson. It was so much fun, and we all really think we’ve improved our game. My 14 year old son was able to join in a game at the end of the lesson with some others at the facility and enjoyed it immensely - he even told his dad he was quitting his 3 other sports to focus on his pickleball game 😂 The lesson was filled with fundamentals such as serving, returning a serve, dinking, volleying, game play. We were able to use the new R.A.W. paddles, and let me tell you - they are amazing! Way different than those purchased off Amazon. This game is for anyone from children to seniors. Give it a try!

I just started learning Pickleball about 2 months ago after doing a clinic at the YMCA. I realize there was a lot of different skill sets involved in playing this game, so I started looking for 1 on 1 trainers. I was fortunate to pick Gregory after looking at all the different trainers in my area, he looked like the one that knew the most. From the first lesson I was impressed at how detailed he was in each different skill set and the exact technique involved. He used constant repetition to help to reinforce each. After 3 private sessions I then did Gregory’s rating clinic. At this 3 hour clinic we reviewed the different skill sets for the first 2 hours, and for the last hour, we just played games where I was able to apply what I had learned to the actual game itself. This was tremendously helpful.
