See link below for USA Pickleball Interview:
Coach Randall's 4 player Junior PPC team that he took to the all Junior Nationals in Las Vegas took home Gold and Bronze in singles, Silver in doubles and after two nail biting Dream Breakers, they took out all the top Arizona teams where their only loss was to the tough Gold Medal Champion California team, bringing home the silver for Arizona in the MLP event!

Coach Andre has successfully worked with both Juniors and Adults to increase their skill level. In additions to his verbal instruction, hitting with Andre allows students to emulate his Pro level technique. Andre's patience and positive coaching style makes him a favorite!
