What Others Are Saying
Transformative Pickleball Stories
“I have learned from all of you, not just about pickleball, but also about principles of the Bible that I need to apply to my daily life. I have started using ACTS for my prayer time and also started the 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge. I am carrying the little cross that Dick handed out to us during the last clinic--a reminder of who I belong to as I live this life.”

“Thanks to the three of you for giving of your time, sharing tips and giving feedback to help us improve our skills and build confidence (ME). And for allowing me to have a spot in the group to learn and be with such wonderful people, like winning the lottery of life.”

“What a wonderful God-honoring concept! 3:16 Strategies-Biblical Principles applied to pickleball not only greatly improved my pickleball skills to another level, bringing in professional players who graciously gave instruction and individual feedback, but Dick Scott intentionally imparted biblical concepts to incorporate while on the court. The lessons strategically illustrated pickleball fundamentals weaved together with prayer, foundational discipleship practices and even demonstration of Gospel presentation. I highly recommend this program be taken by the young and old alike.”

“3:16 Strategies was exactly what I was looking for to improve my Pickleball skills. The drills are excellent and are helping me to work on specific areas of my game. The instructors are high quality players and godly men who love Jesus and people. I love how they incorporate biblical and spiritual concepts and truth into their coaching and teaching. It is really helping me to prioritize my walk with the Lord over my love of the game of pickleball. I highly recommend it if you want to improve your pickleball game and your spiritual walk.”

“I look forward to John 3:16 Strategies each week and love being part of the group. We laugh, play, and pray together on the courts. The leaders and coaches have a huge heart for Jesus and are great Pickleball players too. Each Bible lesson brings meaning and focus to my life. Playing & practicing with US Open Champions and other advanced players has greatly improved my pickleball skills and my daily walk with the Lord.”
