Supporting Megan & Ryler are two highly respected PSO coaches: Rob Williams and Scott Tawse.

 

Rob Williams is PSO Head Coach and a European Championship–winning coach for the England Masters Team, an IPTPA Master Teaching Professional, and the Director of Coach Development for Pickleball England. His technical expertise and leadership in European coach education make him one of the most influential figures in the sport.

A Kovacs Serve Specialist and Advanced Oxygen Advantage® Instructor, he blends biomechanics, breathing science, mindfulness, and neuroscience-based coaching to help players develop both their game and their mental focus.

Together, Rob and Scott add depth, knowledge, and world-class support to the masterclass experience.

FAQs Find answers to common questions about your trip, booking process, and travel details here.
  • Do I need a visa for Turkey?
    British Citizens travelling to Turkey for tourist or business purposes may travel without a visa for visits of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. For any other citizenship please confirm with the relevant embassy and/or Consulates.
  • Can I get help with the entry requirements for Turkey?
    We are happy to assist you with general information about the entry requirements, but it is your responsibility to check and fulfil the passport, visa, health and immigration requirements of the country you are planning to visit for your own specific circumstances.
  • Are flights included?
    Flights are usually not included in our packages. However, we’re happy to assist with booking your flights and will recommend a group flight option for ease and convenience. When travelling on the group flight, airport transfers are included.
  • What happens to my transfer when my flight changes?
    If you have booked your own flight, we will adjust your transfer time once you have let us know the new flight time. If you have booked your flight with us, we take care of everything.
  • Will I have somebody at the destination as a main point of contact?
    PSO Travel representative or coach – and often both – will be staying at the same venue and available 24/7 to support you throughout your stay. In rare cases where hosting isn't possible, you’ll be informed in advance. Even then, a member of the PSO team will always be available by phone or message whenever you need assistance or advice.
  • Am I insured with your company?
    You are financially protected through our membership with the Travel Trust Association (TTA) and, where applicable, ATOL protection. Please note that ATOL protection is provided only when flights are included in your package and does not apply to group flights booked separately. While we ensure financial protection for your booking, we strongly recommend that you arrange suitable travel and/or sports insurance for yourself and your party before travelling overseas.

    <p>If you need to cancel, we will amend or cancel your booking and handle any refunds in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. Depending on the circumstances, you may be eligible for a refund, offered the option to transfer your booking to another available date, or receive a credit that can be used for a future holiday.</p>

  • Do I need to bring my Tennis/Padel/Pickleball racket/bat/paddle along?
    Depending on th eresort, you may be able to rent a racket at the Tennis Centre, but we strongly recommend bringing your own racket/bat/paddle.

    The local currency in Türkiye is the Turkish Lira (TRY) However, euros, pounds sterling, and US dollars are widely accepted in many tourist areas, hotels, and shops. We still recommend having some Turkish Lira on hand for smaller purchases, tips, or local markets. Most places accept major credit and debit cards, but American Express (Amex) is rarely accepted so it's best to have an alternative card with you.
  • Can I join your holidays if I’m travelling solo?

If you’d like one-on-one time with a coach to work on specific skills or get personalised tips, just let us know in advance or speak to the team on-site. Availability may vary depending on the schedule, so early requests are recommended.
