Player Level -New, Novice-Intermediate-Expert

Smiley Riley Pickleball Training is my very own passion project and my full time job. I light up whenever I step foot on the court. If it's teaching, training or competing it's my happy place and that shines through in my coaching.  I am PPR Certified as well as Advanced Strategy Quatro Certified . I work with all levels of players in individual, groups and clinics.

AS AN OCTGERIAN THAT HAS PLAYED FOR A WHILE RILEY WAS GREAT AS I AM STARTING TO LEARN BASICS I HAVE BEEN DOING INCORRECTLY. HER PERSONALITY AND POSITIVE ENFORCEMENT ARE PLUSES.  LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT LESSON AND WILL INCLUDE WIFE AND DAUGHTER WHO WENT TO SCHOOL  WITH RILEY !

Riley is a great teacher. She asked me what I wanted to focus on and we worked on those things. She is very astute and explains the how and why of everything she’s trying to teach you. I am looking forward to my next lesson. 

Riley has a great personality that makes the lesson very enjoyable. She provided some valuable input to help me improve my game.

Riley was an excellent instructor! She practiced court placement, tracking the ball, hitting the ball in front, and how to dink successfully. She also have us practice skills to use. Overall, she was amazing 

Riley was brilliant from start to finish. I felt at ease, learnt so much and laughed a lot! Thank you Riley for a brilliant lesson.

My wife and I are both beginners and took a lesson from Riley and she was awesome.  Very knowledgeable, helpful and made us both feel very comfortable.  We came away with a good understanding of the basics of the game and feel like we will be able to play and really enjoy ourselves. We highly recommend Riley!

It was great to spend an hour with Riley. She listened to me explain what I felt was missing from my current skillset and then designed a drill segment that helped enforce how to execute the skills during gameplay.  
The only thing I "wish" is that the hour did not go by so fast!  

What an amazing experience as my first official pickleball lesson! Riley was great and put me at ease immediately.  I’ve played a little casual pickleball, but learning the fundamentals made all the difference in the world! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Smiley Riley to anyone who wants to learn to play Pickleball 🙌💕

Riley is a knowledgeable, clear and patient coach. I highly recommend and look forward to my next lesson. 

I can’t recommend Riley enough as a pickleball instructor! She was absolutely awesome—her ability to assess our skill level and teach us from where we were was so impressive. Riley made the lessons fun and engaging, and her personable, approachable demeanor made it easy to learn and improve. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, Riley knows how to meet you where you’re at and help you grow your skills. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Our family got a group lesson.   We had so much fun and really learned a lot.   Highly recommend Smiley Riley regardless your skills.  

Absolutely, loved my lesson.  Riley taught me  a new way to hit topspin and I was like a kid in a candy store playing that afternoon.  So many winners! Thank you…coming back for more!

I learned a lot during my first pickleball lesson. You’re a great Teacher/Coach and I look forward to many more lessons.

Riley is the best! I had taken a couple clinics in the past and just didn’t feel I was accomplishing and learning much.  I did one of her clinics and a private lesson and am so thankful for her! Learned so much and have a way better understanding of the game!

Riley is a great coach! Fundamentals, strategy, and a lot of fun! Couldn’t recommend her more!

I really enjoyed my lesson today with Riley and Tom, her assistant.  I can’t believe the amount I learned in one lesson. She is excellent and  really knows how to teach the important things that make a difference in your game. I highly recommend Riley  and so happy  that Iam on my way to being a better player. 

Riley is an amazing instructor with a relaxed, expert coaching style.  Every lesson helps improve my game and Riley never fails me inspire me.

Riley went above and beyond, even after a hiccup, we had the best lesson and she spent extra time and effort with me to help me her to the next level!

This was my second private lesson and I left both lessons with some game changing concepts. I highly recommend one on one coaching and Riley is the best! 

Riley, thank you for your time during our lesson. I could feel my game improving right away! I will definitely be back for more :)

Riley is an awesome coach. She always gives the advice I need to improve my game. 

Smiley recognized my problem areas and immediately addressed the areas.  

Riley is amazing. You will learn so much and have a great time. She is also encouraging and you want to fly back to Scottsdale to take another lesson. Can't wait for my next trip out!
