"I started playing pickleball in March of 2023. After a few group lessons, I signed up for several of Joni’s clinics. After that I also signed up for several private and small group lessons. I had never played any ball sports of any kind prior to this, so I was both incompetent and intimidated. She is both inspiring and kind in her assessments of us beginner players, so I soon got over any feelings of intimidation and was able to concentrate on her actual teachings. She is quick to compliment and her ability to focus on what is going on is extraordinary. She is also approachable off the court to answer any questions which I consider something that is not often seen. When your time is up it is not really up! She is generous with her time and knowledge and humble in her approach.  I look forward to any clinics I can sign up for with Coach Joni!  I highly recommend!!!"

"My pickleball journey started with Coach Joni when I attended an Intro to Pickleball clinic approximately 3 years ago.  Her enthusiasm and passion for the game was infectious and I have been playing ever since.  Under Coach Joni’s guidance, encouragement, patience and expertise she had brought me from a complete newbie who never played a sport requiring hand eye coordination to a strong, fast player.  She personalizes her lessons teaching me to capitalize on my strengths and helping me to work on my weaknesses by teaching me different strategies to overcome my short comings.  I continue to take lessons and attend appropriate level clinics from Coach Joni.  I can’t recommend her highly enough."
