What People Are Saying About John Gill

The following are real testimonials from students and players coached by John Gill — an 11-time World Champion, Grandmaster, and founder of the World Pickleball Association. These are their own words, reflecting experiences from a single transformative lesson to ongoing coaching relationships spanning dozens of sessions.

I just finished a series of 10 lessons with John. My overall game has improved a lot. John corrected many aspects of my game and focused on strategy and shot selection. He also videoed me playing so I could review what I had learned and played with me against other players, correcting my game 'live'. He's a great coach for all levels. John is a gem!

John is a fantastic trainer! I have learned more in three lessons with him than in 4 months of other trainers and running drills. He is patient, enthusiastic, highly skilled and always punctual! Do not hesitate to hire John if you want to elevate your game!

Excellent coach! His passion and knowledge of the game is unmatched. He takes the time to work on court strategy, positioning, footwork, doubles strategy and a lot more than I can fit here. I spent A LOT of time to find the right coach and I'm so glad I found John.
