SBA Tennis & Pickleball

We took several semi-private adult lessons with SBA tennis recently and the experience was great. We mainly followed coach Jovan and he is very professional - he corrected mistakes properly and gave important instructions for us as beginners. Coach Josh was very friendly and energetic, who gave us a lot of encouragement during training. We did not had direct lessons with Brandon but he helped us a lot on arranging schedule. All of them are friendly and would definitely recommend this business.

I took a beginning pickle ball class with Brandon recently. I've taken a couple of sessions at Lifetime Tennis earlier, and this class was by far the best. My favorite part about the class was how much Brandon focused on strategy and technique instead of just the game's rules. He's a seasoned athlete who understands the anatomy of each shot and can break it down for those who struggle. He also utilizes every minute on the court and packs in a lot every class. I'm glad I took the beginning class, which gave me some foundational techniques I hadn't learned before. I will definitely be taking more classes with him.

My team at work rented 3x pickleball courts through Brandon for a last minute offsite. We opted out of coaching instruction. Communicating with Brandon was smooth and quick. We were scheduling within a week of the planned event. Brandon was not present for the event, but provided clear instructions on how to find the space and where equipment (rented balls and paddles) would be left for us. On the day of, he checked in and was very flexible with us when we had some delays to our own schedule. I’ve docked 1 star from my review due to the quality of the courts. I was taken by surprise because I did not realize that we’d be playing on a repurposed parking area with temporary nets. The facility has 1x port-a-potty and no running water. I provided feedback to Brandon about my surprise and slight disappointment. I was really pleased that Brandon was receptive to the feedback and offered thoughtful ideas on how both communication and physical court conditions could be improved for others in the future. We were still able to have a great time, I’d recommend these courts for casual pickleball events!

My 11-year-old son and I have been taking private group tennis lessons with Coach Brandon. He is really great at explaining things in a way that's easy to understand both conceptually and practically. My son says: "Brandon is a really nice person and can teach very well. He explains things well."

I just completed a 5-wk beginners pickleball lesson through Brandon Sodos over at Kevin Moran Park (Saratoga). If you or someone you know are interested in the sport, I highly recommend contacting Brandon for lessons. Over the course of 5 weeks, Brandon’s clinic went over the objective of the game, serving, scoring, positioning, control, and other drills that help build-up skill set. Brandon also rotated his group, so everyone was able to get 1:1 time with him. Questions were encouraged and if you needed more help in a specific area, Brandon would walk over that part again. Brandon was a wonderful coach and, towards the end of his 5-wk class, I was able to use the skills taught to me to confidently play doubles with friends.
