ABOUT
The Coach
A former Division I tennis player at Portland State University, Adam Rothert started his pickleball journey several years ago. He quick fell in love with the sport and began playing more than what most would consider a healthy amount. Now he's dedicated to spreading his love and knowledge of the sport to the rest of the pickleball community.

The Setting
In good weather: a beautiful, privately owned court in the heart of Des Moines.
In bad weather: a court at Dinks Pickleball, located in the Merle Hay Mall
Also available to travel to your private court. An additional travel fee may apply depending on location.
If you have a lesson scheduled you'll know that you'll have a court available at that time. No hoping or waiting required.
