Hello - a couple of years ago, I joined the Volunteer mentor PB Programme, but haven't played much since. I now want some 1-1 coaching, drills, etc. Any recommendations please for coaches in TV?
Thanks

Sure thing: 2 Places where the regular players are more than happy to help & encourage new players & experienced players to " Improve " . They are real sports !

1) Lake Miona ... Mornings especially now with the weather. M thru F
2) Burnsed ... Mornings M W F & Sat.

Check-Out Saddlebrook as well

The Players are really Happy Go Lucky, with Unlimited Patience. Good Luck & Enjoy

Howdy - are you sure about those suggestions? I went to Burnsed last fall on one of the days you mentioned. It seemed like an advanced group and did not welcome those newer to the game. Maybe things have changed. I know there is a 1-1 trainer who works at the complex in the community at the corner of 466 and Rolling Hills but I can not remember her name. Might can find though some google help!

LOL. Lake Miona and Burnsed are probably the two most UNwelcoming open play parks in TV.

Deb Harrison is great.

Coaching for pay is not permitted on the Villages courts so several coaches user the new facilities at Pickle N' Poker.

That’s been known for at least 10 years. Maybe they moved to Rohan where they can take over the own pod?

Coaching for pay is not permitted on the Villages courts—- it still goes on just not as brash.

Deb Harrison's is " Old School " & Likely has won more Tournaments here in The Villages then anyone. I can remember when Deb Harrison & Bill Freeman teamed up they were a joy to watch. Bill moved away.

She is honestly a very nice person & a " Pro " I suggest you contact her.

PS: She is also a " Pro " at Ping Pong.

We go to Sperling every week. Very very good with current strategies
