I’ve been playing and volunteer coaching volleyball for 10+ years! I love working with students at any level and instilling confidence in their ability to practice and improve, whatever the pace may be.

Softball has been a lifelong passion of mine. As a two-time Hall of Fame inductee, three-time NFCA Division I All-American, and 2005 Women's College World Series participant (DePaul University), I've played and coached at many levels. As a former PE teacher, I've seen how important a strong foundation is for young athletes. I love helping players develop fundamental skills, build confidence, and create a lasting love for the game. I would love to help!

"Coach Saskia has been experienced, patient, and wonderful at teaching my daughter the fundamentals of batting and fielding. At only 6 years old, she has felt supported and encouraged every step of the way, and it’s been such a great experience for her.

With over 10 years of experience teaching mathematics, I know that every student learns differently. I specialize in explaining the same concept in multiple ways, helping students build confidence and truly understand the material instead of just memorizing it. My goal is to make math approachable, engaging, and tailored to each student's unique learning style.

"Thank you Ms Rose for all your help! I wouldn't have been able to get through my freshmen year without you!

I help beginners and improving players build clean fundamentals, better footwork, and real confidence on court. My lessons are clear, encouraging, and structured so you improve fast without feeling overwhelmed. I’m a medical student focused on sports medicine. I lost 80 pounds of fat by playing tennis and built real athleticism along the way. I coach beginners to intermediates with a biomechanics-first approach: I’m all about footwork, placement and positioning, timing, and joint-friendly power. First lesson includes a quick assessment, 1 to 2 key fixes, and a drill plan for your next solo hit.

"I struggled with my serve for the longest time. That changed finally when I got lessons from Arjan. He analyed how I currently hit so as to maximally help improve my serve and return without overcomplicating. I could finally toss the ball for a clean serve after many many drills! Highly recommended

With three decades immersed in lacrosse, I bring a wealth of experience to every session. My passion lies in fostering both skill development and a deep love for the game. I strive to create a supportive environment where players can thrive and reach their full potential.

"My daughter began playing lacrosse earlier this year. In the first lesson with Coach Allen, she already learned a lot and Coach Allen is great. He explained what my daughter is good at, what she needs to work on, and how she can improve in a clear concise manner. For every skill, he taught her “why” a certain move in a specific form is important in a game, which I think only an experienced coach like Coach Allen can do. We live far from San Ramon, but we feel it’s worth travelling there to receive a high quality lesson from Coach Allen.
