Master your Game with Expert Coaching

Sarah is an excellent pickleball instructor . She is experienced, highly trained, encouraging, and full of great energy. She has a real gift for spotting fundamental errors, breaking skills down simply, and giving you cues that make an immediate difference. After my first lesson with Sarah, the people I regularly play with noticed a clear improvement in my game the very next day. She’s also a great player, always willing to jump in, demonstrate, and encourage. On top of that, she organizes fantastic tournaments, events, and sunny pickleball retreats, and seems to attract a great group of kind, spirited, like-minded players. Great coaching, great energy, and a lot of fun. Highly recommended."

Sarah is a great coach at Leaside Fairgrounds. Her experience and professionalism shine through as she creates an inclusive learning environment for the sport. Sarah is very knowledgeable and can break down the fundamentals for beginners to encourage muscle memory and understanding. She can also take it to the next level for advanced players. Thank you Sarah for a great series of workshops. Looking forward to the next."

Did the Advanced beginner coaching with Sarah in the past month. It was a great help and fun learning experience. Would highly recommend if you are new to the game and wish to improve!"

Last week I completed a 4 week, 1 hour per week, Novice to Intermediate Pickleball Coaching session with Sarah Graham at Fairgrounds Leaside. I just started playing Pickleball at the start of this year, and found her instruction very helpful. I learned about positioning the ball in serving, dinking, as well as where to position myself during play and relative to my partner. There were just 4 of us in the class, so Sarah was able to give us personalized attention as well as tailoring the instruction to our level. Now it's just a matter of putting this all into practice!"

I really enjoyed my four-week Pickleball clinic with Sarah. She provided us with coaching on the correct form and technique (e.g. for serving, backhand etc.) and also provided individual coaching. The whole experience was fun and friendly and I actually saw improvement in my performance!"

We took a 4 session beginner advanced course with Sarah and now I have the confidence and skills to play in most beginner novice situations. The course was well organized and fun. I can't wait to practice my new skills!"
