Travis has been a coach at our facility for almost a year now. In that period of time, he has provided group classes (all levels), small group playing classes, rating classes, and individual coaching. It is very evident and strikingly clear that the level of play overall amongst our members has increased. Travis is a very good teacher. He is very patient, gives clear instructions, can easily identify a player's strengths and weaknesses, and is able to gear his coaching to improve the player(s) he is working with. His teaching style makes his classes fun and players naturally gravitate towards him. I have taken Group Classes, playing lessons, and individual coaching with him and all of that has definitely improved my game. He has without a doubt proven to be an awesome addition to our program.

Thx for a great class, as always. You have the best attitude, Travis. I’m sure you know this, but God really gifted you w/an incredible ability to get along with anyone & everyone. It’s highly commendable. You are so talented, you have a take charge approach which commands respect, you’re very effective, yet…you NEVER ruffle any feathers, or overlook ANYONE, & you’re ALWAYS bringing ppl UP! It’s impressive.

I’ve had multiple pickleball lessons with Travis Rhea. Travis is a very energetic and positive coach. He has practical drills that focus on specific areas of the game. He gives very clear directions that are easily understood and easily translated into success on the court. Travis is able to teach players with varied abilities and is always encouraging and positive in his approach. Travis has a straightforward approach to instruction, which makes learning easy. Each lesson has allowed me to walk away with new techniques and strategies to put into play.

I began playing pickleball for the first time in January 2024. I have taken lessons with Travis and he is responsible for elevating my game in a short amount of time. Travis is very good at observing and then identifying flaws in my shots. He often suggests small tweaks to my game that make my shots much more effective. He is a very good coach that does not overwhelm his students with unnecessary and nonessential information. I highly recommend Travis to anyone looking to improve their game.
My husband Paul and I took pickleball lessons with Coach Travis two years ago, and we were so impressed with his teaching style that we decided to take golf lessons with him last year as well. Coach Travis is not only professional but also incredibly encouraging, making each lesson both enjoyable and informative. His approach helped us improve our skills in both sports, and we’ve noticed a positive difference in our game. His patience and encouraging demeanor set Coach Travis apart. He provided detailed, constructive feedback that helped us grow as players and build our confidence on the court and on the course. Thanks to his guidance, we’re much more comfortable and competitive when we play.If you’re looking for a coach who combines expertise, excellent teaching skills, and a personable approach, we can't recommend Coach Travis highly enough.
