Testimonials

Kevin and his team put together a great pickleball event as part of our family reunion/wedding weekend festivities… so much fun! Richard and Brad instructed and organized the games to maximize enjoyment for all. I think we’ve started something!! Kudos!
Karen C.
We worked with Kevin and Cindy to plan a Pickleball afternoon for a corporate team building event and it was a huge success! A great event for all ages and skill levels. Kevin and Cindy and their team are clearly passionate about what they do and this came through while planning and executing the day. I would definitely work with Kevin and Cindy again, no questions asked.
Sarah B.
We all had a really great time - it was so great to have [our PBC coach] with us to get us going and then once we were playing he was right there giving feedback and tips to get better. Would highly recommend! Thank you so much for a great event!!
Amy N.
Great instruction with laughter and fun. I have taken many lessons from Pickleball Connect and all have been a wonderful experience with much improvement on my game. They are very approachable with any concerns or feedback and are constantly improving and expanding their programs. Kevin, Cindy and all their instructors are so welcoming, personable and inclusive. I highly recommend them for anyone wanting to learn the game and anyone wanting to improve their game.
Loldine V.
Kevin and Cindy are welcoming and amazing at passing along their love for this fun fun fun game. My Triumph racquet has upped my game! And I can't wait to attend my first PB Connect Getaway. Highly recommend!
Tiffany Stones
Unlike tennis, pickleball is easy to jump into and get the rallies going right from the start. Unlike squash you can play it for a few hours and still walk the next day! I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I do but after Kevin introduced it to us, we are hooked AND there is no better coach then Kevin to improve your game regardless of the level you play! The Vegas tournament that Kevin and Cindy hosted cemented the love of this sport for us. Well organized and well run, we met many new friends and are looking forward to joining them for the next one!
Brian Milloy
I am loving the website, easy to navigate and browse through the products. Kevin and Cindy truly take a huge interest in helping people meet their goals! You two are the best!! The Pickleball Event in Kamloops would be such an amazing experience, we are looking forward to hearing the new dates Cindy and Kevin. All the best!!
Jillian Williams
We attended clinics and retreats and loved the professional level of coaching and social interactions that Kevin and Cindy provide. Kevin is the go-to guy for the newest innovative equipment and game strategy. We look forward to the next event !
Deborah Richardson
Kevin Doucet from Pickleball Connect is an amazing coach and all around amazing human. We've been lucky enough to not only be coached by Kevin in Pickleball, Padel Tennis and Squash throughout the years, but also attended one of their Pickleball tournaments in Las Vegas a few years back. It was so well run and so much fun. I would highly recommend both the lessons (finally back on) and the tournaments, when things open up again.
Chantal Milloy
Many companies offer pickleball trips. However no other company is led by Kevin and Cindy and this is a differentiator. Daily lessons, extremely fun tournament with brackets, medals, a closing ceremony and more. Cindy is a social event guru and ensures that everyone’s needs are exceeded. Very organized and wonderful customer service! And you will meet awesome people from across the continent. So glad to have been introduced to Pickleball Connect and would highly recommend. I’ll be back…. Laurel Deplaedt Calgary, AB
