Clinic Reviews

““High praise for Laura Fenton of World Pickleball!!! I attended her 2-day camp in Birmingham and was super impressed with her precise instruction and quality tips for advanced players, her ability to demonstrate and perform the techniques she was teaching, and with her ability to communicate and have fun with each participant. She knew our all names within the first 5 minutes😊. As a tournament player who is always seeking to improve, I gained valuable insight not only on the skills I need to improve but also on how to exploit an opponents weakness. I hope I get a chance to work with Laura Fenton again soon!!””

“Just a personal note first to say - totally loved meeting you and working out with you on Saturday (and bummed couldn’t make it on Sunday!). You were tons of fun and an awesome instructor. Look forward to next time.”

““Laura is really smart and tuned her instruction to the group’s apparent needs. Additionally, her workouts were stellar. She was by far the best instructor here.”

”Great Specific Instruction.”

”Highly informative, answered questions willingly and always gave us time to hydrate and cool down. Very approachable and made learning fun.”

“She was so encouraging, shared so much good information, and is just a Top-notch instructor!””

““I’ve played many sports in my lifetime, but Laura is the best clinician, trainer and motivator I have ever had! Because of her educational background, she sees the little things that need to change in each person. Trust me - you will “love” her clinics.”

““Laura’s clinics were the stepping stones in our games going to the next level, and my wife is now winning tournaments! I was a football player and originally wasn’t about to be told anything from a girl. Boy, was I wrong! Her clinics are great! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, and I would recommend everyone to take her clinics. We miss her horribly!””

““She’s the most ‘amazing’ teacher ever! I was a former tennis player & she helped correct my bad habits in pickleball in one day! Great people-person & super organized! Two thumbs up!””

“I have taken many clinics, several by various pros, and I have to say Laura’s clinic went above and beyond my expectations. When I initially read the list of Laura’s credentials, I thought “wow, this should be awesome.” The clinic went above awesome. Laura has a unique teaching style and everyone of us walked away wanting more. The clinic was informative, challenging, encouraging & fun. Laura definitely lives up to her credentials. You will walk away with an improvement in your pickleball game after only four hours with Laura.”

“A big than you for the two day session! I participated in many sessions before and this is the first time the drills were different. I learned where to place myself on the court depending on the play. I also learned how to move on the court depending on the plays. This will definitely help me to progress forward. Your explanations were clear and the questions were answered clearly as well. Since then, I have been practicing what I learned with other participants and other players and I will continue to do so.
Thank you very much!”

“My husband and I attended a two-day clinic for 3.5 and 4.0 pickleball players instructed by Laura Fenton Kovanda. Ms. Kovanda has exceptional credentials, experience, and knowledge to impart on her students. She easily imparts her knowledge in sports from her experience in Biomechanics, Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology, and Sport Psychology to the student. As an example, she spoke about the importance of playing the angles and body positioning. She also talked about tightness in certain muscles, how it relates to the rest of your body and stretching exercises to help alleviate the muscle tightness. Her easygoing style of teaching makes the student feel they are getting the best from her. Her passionate attitude and enthusiasm about the sport of pickleball is very evident while she demonstrates each drill and speaks to each student. She wants you to be a better player. I would recommend to anyone who wants to be a better pickleball player whether it is a recreational player to a tournament player to attend Ms. Kovanda’s clinic.
Thanks for a great experience!”

“I was very fortunate to be able to attend a 2 day Seminar with Laura Fenton Kovanda last week! What an absolutely fabulous experience! Having been at this sport 3 years with training from many professionals, I have to say that Laura’s training was the best I have ever had. In just 4 hours, I know that my game has improved a bit, but most importantly I know what to work on to make it better! Laura’s got the perfect personality for teaching and has the best professional pickleball skills to boot, with credentials to back it up! Laura’s seminar was fun, very challenging and she made everyone feel comfortable! I feel very lucky that Laura resides in Arizona and close enough for me to continue training with her.”
