“All who took the clinic and participated in the drills are winners, from getting to know you and from having drills are winners, from getting to know you and from having the benefit of your experience and knowledge guiding us on our pickleball journey.”

Their guidance has elevated our game tremendously … not only court positioning, proper footwork, shot selection, deceptive shots, etc., but also the mental part of the game and how to communicate effectively with our partner.

The most amazing thing happens to both of us after we take your classes! There is suddenly a sharp rise in our play level.

Hi Letha,
I’m so happy you asked us to offer our thoughts on yours and John’s classes, clinics and overall instruction and insights into advanced Pickleball.
Brooke and I have had the privilege to be in a few classes of yours from the Pre-5P to 5P’s along with your other advanced classes that cover all the drills and skills that you offer. The most amazing thing happens to both of us after we take your classes!
There is suddenly a sharp rise in our play level. We have plateaued a few times in the past and luckily you both were there to offer us some class that relaunched us to higher skill sets. That might seem intuitive, but in Pickleball, the game eventually becomes more cerebral after we learn the the how’s and why’s. The strategic overview of winning is so well explained by both of you that we almost take it for granted that we will be far better players for having attended any of your courses.
Thank you both so much for your friendship and your generous instruction.

We were first introduced to John & Letha Rodrigues during our 2022-2023 Winter season in Arizona. John & Letha offer pickleball lessons at the RV resort where we stay during the winter. Over the course of a couple of years, we participated in many of John & Letha’s clinics as well as private lessons.
Their guidance has elevated our game tremendously. They have not only taught us court positioning, proper footwork, shot selection, deceptive shots, etc. but have also taught us a lot about the mental part of the game and how to communicate effectively with our partner. They are both very good at providing feedback in a positive and professional manner.
If anyone is considering an instructor, we would highly recommend John & Letha Rodrigues.
