These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.



I’m a former math teacher and former tech exec turned pickleball enthusiast. Over the last couple of years, I’ve invested a massive amount of time studying the sport and breaking it down into its foundational pieces in order to teach myself how to excel at the game. In that time, I’ve gone from an absolute beginner to an advanced level player - I play at the 4.5+ level, I’ve won multiple medals in tournaments, and I’ve earned a Professional Coach certificate through PPR. In addition to independent coaching, I am also the lead pickleball coach at Bay Club Redwood Shores & Broadway. I am truly energized by teaching others everything I've learned about this sport. As a former math teacher and Harvard alum, I take an academic approach to coaching: lessons are planned in advance, skills are broken down into steps, there are opportunities to practice and make mistakes, and I provide written notes and videos post-lesson to solidify your learning. As a former tech leader, my coaching involves giving direct and timely feedback, relying on first principles to guide lessons, and adapting quickly to optimize your learning. Thank you for considering me and I hope to see you on the courts soon!
"Alan has been helping me so much with my game - my friends are impressed by my progress and I’m now more confident on court. Now working on my transition game and resetting - made good progress yesterday with Alan and looking forward to our next lesson. Alan is patient, supportive and very observant! An elite player and coach!!


Transform Your Tennis: Hit Cleaner, Move Better, and Win More Points With 25+ years of playing and coaching experience, I help players turn frustration into real progress on the court. My students learn to hit more consistently, move more efficiently, and compete with greater confidence—so they can enjoy playing at the level they’re capable of. I focus on simple, high-impact adjustments that quickly improve strokes, decision-making, and match performance—without overcomplicated instruction. Whether you’re a beginner building fundamentals, an adult reducing unforced errors, or a competitive player seeking an edge, I tailor each lesson to deliver clear, measurable improvement.
"Jeff was super helpful and knowledgeable in terms of several techniques. He also had great analogies to make the techniques easier to grasp!
