What they are saying...

"There are many reasons why I have stayed with Debbie’s clinics for 14 years, not the least of which is her patience and ability to break down her instruction into manageable parts. We often focus on one particular skill to work on. She is a tireless teacher with a great attitude, and never gets impatient with us. We laugh at our mistakes and have a great time with her endlessly creative drills. I would recommend lessons or clinics with Debbie to players of all skill levels."
