Welcome! My name is Russ Forthofer. I am a Certified Pickleball Instructor and I look forward to helping you in your pickleball journey. Whether you are new to pickleball or have been playing a while, I offer training which I believe you will find to be affordable, valuable and enjoyable. I offer clinics as well as individual and group instruction to players who want to learn how to play this awesome sport, as well as to players who want to expand their pickleball skills.
If you are new to the sport….WELCOME!!! You have found a sport which is fun, social, challenging and competitive, all wrapped into one! And the beauty of it is we can all approach it in our own way. Whether you are looking for a social outlet, or a way to get exercise, want to feed your competitive spirit or are simply looking for some fun, pickleball can get you there! I look forward to helping you learn what you need to know to begin enjoying pickleball right away!
If you have been playing a while, you may have found that your skills have reached a plateau. Do you need to improve technique, understanding of rules and strategy, court positioning, shot placement and selection? I look forward to helping with that next step.
