What Serious Players Are Saying
What stands out about training with Thomas is the balance between technique and strategy—learning not just how to hit shots, but why and when to use them. The sessions are disciplined and intentional, built around consistency, shot selection, and decision making. This structure leads to more consistent shots, better choices under pressure, and a clearer path to higher-level play.
Why I First Joined the Drill Sessions
I joined the drill sessions looking for structured practice and real feedback, not more open play or generic clinics. The small, skill-based groups and emphasis on fundamentals – drops, drives, dinking, and shot combinations – offers something different: repetition with purpose and a coach actively correcting and guiding each session. It is designed for players who want to improve, not just play.
Just one hour with Coach Thomas and I already feel like my game has improved.

I first heard about Yelloweyes Pickleball from a friend I play pickleball with and I am very satisfied I decided to join the group. I was struggling with consistency, making the right shot choices, strategy and my soft game and all of those issues have improved. I appreciate Thomas’ desire to challenge us; give individual instruction while we are playing and I see his growth as an instructor. I enjoy the community, fun and laughter. It’s been a great experience!!

This all makes sense. I started with short drills, to improve my pickleball. Little did I know the intricate art of pickleball. Watching my coach Thomas move with confidence, finesse and intent. I realized starting from scratch building muscle memory allows me to move on unencumbered to footwork and reading opponents. Reading Opponent slows the ball in my mind to incorporate the footwork. I’m no expert yet but I see the beginning with the end in mind and am so excited to get there.
