Common Questions

Everything you need to know.

Do I need to be experienced to take a lesson with Karen?
Not at all. Karen works with all levels — from total beginners to tournament players. Whether it's your first time holding a paddle or you're refining advanced tactics, the lesson will meet you exactly where you are.
What should I bring to my first lesson?
Comfortable athletic shoes, a water bottle, and a paddle if you have one (Mile Hi has rentals if not). Plus an awareness that you might just get addicted to the most fun sport you've never tried… yet.
Where are lessons held?
All sessions currently take place at Mile Hi Pickleball — a beautiful indoor facility located at 3700 S Havana St.
How do I book a lesson with Karen?
Book Now opens Karen's lesson calendar on Mile Hi's CourtReserve; members can log in, non-members can book as a guest.
What makes Karen's coaching different?
Karen not only loves to coach — she's a connector. Students describe her sessions as fun, uplifting, supportive, and confidence-building. You'll leave with more than skills — you'll leave feeling like you belong, on the court and off.
Can I book a group lesson or clinic?
Yes. Karen offers private, semi-private, and small-group clinics. If you're not sure which is right for you, just contact her.
Can I hear about future clinics, tips, or events?
Absolutely. Karen sends occasional updates with lesson openings, local events, and quick pickleball tips. Spam-free — promise.

Karen has a way of making you feel comfortable immediately. I stopped overthinking every shot and finally started playing more naturally and confidently.

I’ve taken lessons before, but this was the first time I actually understood why I was making mistakes. Karen explains things in a way that just clicks.

Karen brings incredible energy to the court. Players leave her sessions smiling, learning, and already asking when the next clinic is.

The atmosphere Karen creates is what keeps people coming back. It feels competitive, supportive, and fun at the same time.

I came in nervous about open play and left actually excited to play more. Karen made the whole experience feel approachable.

Beginner Player

Karen naturally builds community around her. Players connect with her, but they also start connecting with each other.
