"Coach Kelbe is very adept in his ability of assessing a player and is able to create a training program that builds on progressions as you move along. Coach has definitely elevated my son's skillset in a short amount of time. One thing that stands out is the vast array of drills that coach is able to pull from to build skills in different ways and the instruction that goes along with it. This has given my son a better understanding of when or how to use certain skills in game situations.

I actually didn't like tennis much when I first started at 8 years old - I'd swing, look around for the ball and find it stuck in the throat of my racquet. Having the right coach and mentor a few years later changed how I saw the game, and eventually how I saw myself. Though injuries and finances ultimately cut my junior career short, I continued to work on my skills and fitness, and found coaching as a way to share my passion with others who feel the same way. See you on the court!

"Alex was a very intentional and detail oriented coach. Many coaches just go through the motions, take you through a couple drills, and call it a day. Alex would ask questions whenever he noticed me doing something wrong and run drills to specifically isolate that shot/skill. I’d definitely recommend Alex to anyone looking to take their game to the next level.

Hey everyone, I’m Jon! I’m a 5.0 level player and professional coach that has 3+ years of teaching experience at The Hub Alameda and locally. I’m looking to bring my expertise to help local players improve their game! As someone who worked their way up to 5.0 from the intermediate level, I am intimately familiar with all the pitfalls along the way from beginner to advanced levels and what it takes to grind to that level. My teaching philosophy has always been rooted in approaching the game as simply as possible. I emphasize simple, repeatable shot mechanics. And equally important, I take the time to explain how shot selection and strategy impact your progress just as much as shot execution! I’m 100% confident that in just a single, one hour session we can make noticeable improvement in either shot quality or a shift in strategic thinking. You can always expect each session to be tailored to your specific needs. Pacing will always be adjusted to your progress. At the end of each session I’ll send you notes for the key points we covered as well as actionable feedback. Looking forward to working together to help you improve your game to the next level! Happy to answer any questions.

"Jon was my first pickleball coach for a good part of one year. My simple goal was to strive to improve my shot skills to unlock my potential through self-awareness. Jon truly enhanced my development as a pickleball player by focusing on the fundamentals. Jon organized coaching lessons focused on repetitive drills, drills and more drills – starting with dinks, drops, resets, punch volleys, flick volleys, speed ups, deep serves, footwork, positioning, placement and court awareness. Jon’s clear explanations and demonstrations was key to learning. Jon kept me motivated, inspired and encouraged. Jon quickly adapted to my learning style with good and calm talk that effectively helped me during drills to reinforce correct form & habit. Jon observed early on that I was reaching & hitting off-balanced more than I should; afterwards I became more conscious & deliberate about moving my feet to avoid stretching. I learned about my habits that influenced the changes that made me more confident. My sessions with Jon became an enjoyable journey of self-discovery which exceeded my goal.
