South Bay Area Tennis & Pickleball

I have completed two pickleball programs with Brandon Sodos where every carefully crafted lesson introduced new pickleball strokes with patient coaching. Brandon concentrates on building pickleball skills such that in a short period of time I was able to achieve a level of competency. Every lesson was fun and I can highly recommend you reach out to Coach Brandon.

I took a beginning pickle ball class with Brandon recently. I've taken a couple of sessions at Lifetime Tennis earlier, and this class was by far the best. My favorite part about the class was how much Brandon focused on strategy and technique instead of just the game's rules. He's a seasoned athlete who understands the anatomy of each shot and can break it down for those who struggle. He also utilizes every minute on the court and packs in a lot every class. I'm glad I took the beginning class, which gave me some foundational techniques I hadn't learned before. I will definitely be taking more classes with him.

I just completed a 5-wk beginners pickleball lesson through Brandon Sodos over at Kevin Moran Park (Saratoga). If you or someone you know are interested in the sport, I highly recommend contacting Brandon for lessons. Over the course of 5 weeks, Brandon’s clinic went over the objective of the game, serving, scoring, positioning, control, and other drills that help build-up skill set. Brandon also rotated his group, so everyone was able to get 1:1 time with him. Questions were encouraged and if you needed more help in a specific area, Brandon would walk over that part again. Brandon was a wonderful coach and, towards the end of his 5-wk class, I was able to use the skills taught to me to confidently play doubles with friends.

Brandon was such a patient and pleasant coach for me as a beginner that I cannot believe how much better I was able to play with others and enjoy Pickelball almost immediately. I plan to take another class with him as soon as the rain lets up! Highly recommend him!

I started the beginning of the year as a 3.5 player in the middle of the pack when comparing myself to teammates and opponents in my league. Brandon has helped all aspects of my game but most notably in helping me create a heavier topspin ball that goes deeper into my opponent’s territory. I now consider myself one of the best players in my league and have even won a few sets off a 4.0 rated friend.
