Pickleball lessons in Lacey & Olympia
Lacey and Olympia have some of the best public courts in the region at Rainier Vista. What Thurston County is short on is coaching, and we're 25 minutes up I-5.
Where lessons happen in Lacey & Olympia
For most Lacey and Olympia-area players the best arrangement is to come to us: Harry Todd Park in Lakewood is about 25 minutes up I-5, its four courts have permanent nets year-round, and a lesson there runs at standard rates with no travel fee. It's the closest permanent-net coaching venue to Thurston County, and from DuPont or Hawks Prairie the drive is shorter still; Tumwater adds only a few minutes the other way.
We also drive south. Rainier Vista Community Park, Wonderwood, or a neighborhood court you pick — we bring the net and balls, and the flat travel fee is itemised in the booking flow before you confirm. A standing arrangement with a partner or foursome is where that fee earns its keep.

Lesson formats
- Private lessons — one coach, one student, aimed at whatever is costing you points.
- Semi-private sessions — two or three students who split the hour and the cost.
- Group clinics — four to six players, priced as a total for the lesson rather than per head.
Current prices for every format are on the pricing section, and the exact total — lesson, any travel fee, any first-lesson discount — is itemised in the booking flow before you confirm.
How booking works
Booking is online and takes under a minute: no account, no deposit, no prepayment. You pay at the lesson with cash, Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle, and cancelling or moving a lesson is free up to 24 hours before. Both coaches compete at 4.5–5.0 DUPR, and first-timers get a new-client discount when the offer is running.
