What started as a love for the game quickly turned into something more — a passion for teaching it. I’m a certified pickleball instructor who has competed and thrived at the highest competitive levels, earning 5.0 tournament victories and stepping onto the court against top-25 PPA professionals. That experience playing against the best in the game isn’t just a cool story, I have felt the pace, the strategy, and the pressure of elite-level pickleball firsthand, and brings all of that to every lesson and clinic. Whether you’re just picking up a paddle for the first time or grinding to break into the 4.0+ ranks, I meet you exactly where you are. The goal is simple: help you have more fun, win more points, and fall in love with this game the same way it happened for me. Let’s rally. Book a session today.

"Alex gave a lesson to my wife and I during his visit to Florida. A friend in California said he was visiting and he was able to work us into his schedule. We learned about the “X” positioning and the importance of who covers the middle. He’s a great teacher!

"I’ve been taking lessons with Coach Chae for a few months now, and the progress I’ve made is incredible. Before working with him, my golf game felt frustrating—I struggled with consistency and often felt unsure about my swing mechanics. Coach Chae helped me break down my swing into manageable parts and focused on building solid fundamentals. What I appreciate most is his patient coaching style. He takes the time to watch my swing carefully and gives detailed feedback without rushing. His drills are practical and directly translate to better performance on the course. Since starting with Coach Chae, my ball striking has improved significantly, and I’ve lowered my scores by several strokes. My putting and short game have also seen great improvement thanks to his targeted practice routines. I now approach each round with more confidence and a clearer understanding of how to play smart golf. Coach Chae is definitely the coach you want if you’re serious about improving and enjoying the game more.

"I appreciated the focus on fixing my setup and takeaway. Alan's advice really made my swing feel noticeably smoother and more consistent. It was a pretty good lesson because Alan gave me tips and things to look out for to develop an even better swing in the future. Overall, I left me feeling more confident about my iron shots. If you're looking for someone who offers helpful good insights and feedback from watching you swing, and learning the fundamentals I def recommend Alan.

"AMAZING COACH!!! So sweet and patient!! Was early and ready to go and very accommodating! My first lesson, but I felt like I learned so much!!
John
In addition to coaching Pickleball, I am deeply passionate about golf—a game I’ve loved since 2007. Over the years, I’ve not only dedicated myself to improving my own skills but also found joy in sharing the game with others. Each year, I volunteer at the Celebrity Tournament, an experience that keeps me connected to the excitement and community of the sport. One of my most memorable moments was playing in a tournament alongside a professional golfer. That experience shifted my perspective from an amateur’s approach to seeing the game through a pro’s vision—completely transforming how I play and how I teach. My goal is to help others make that same leap in their game, whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills. Golf is more than just a sport—it’s a great way to spend quality time with friends and family, enjoy the outdoors, and stay active. If you’re ready to learn, I’d love to help you take your first swing and discover all the joy golf has to offer.
"Coach Katherine is an outstanding golf instructor! She is patient, knowledgeable, and makes every lesson enjoyable while helping you improve your game. She has a great eye for identifying what needs to be adjusted in your swing and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. After just a few lessons, I noticed more consistency, better ball striking, and increased confidence on the course.

I coached youth tennis for about a year at Southern California Tennis Academy, working with players of different ages and skill levels. My coaching style is technical, patient, and focused on steady improvement. I enjoy breaking down strokes, footwork, and shot selection in a way that feels clear and useful. As a player, I played 4 years of varsity and a handful of junior tournaments, getting to a 7.3 UTR. Based on my skill level, I can best serve beginners to high intermediates.
"Eli did a really good job breaking down complex motions and ideas with helpful metaphors. I really appreciate how he adjusted to my skill level and met me where I was.
