What the Community is Saying

Wynn is awesome. He meets his clients where they are and tailors each session specifically to their needs. He’s very enthusiastic and encouraging and provides a comfortable but challenging learning environment. Because he builds on skills week-to-week, he’s a great teacher for players of all levels.


I started playing here a year ago. The owner helped me improve my game tenfold. I would probably be playing badminton if not for this company — they saved my pickleball career!


I've done 3 clinics with Dinkademics and I have to say it's the most fun I've had while learning to play the game. Wynn's a great instructor! He's done a great job of explaining all the techniques to win. If you're looking to improve at any level he's the best coach!
