“My son Jason, who is 12, first started playing tennis at eight years of age. In Las Vegas, Nevada for several years and had several tennis coaches. We recently moved to San Juan Capistrano California and wanted to continue his Tennis Lessons. I conducted a Google search and found Coach Roger over the years. We have had several TENNIS coaches for our son. This is the first time we have ever come across such an amazing tennis coach. Roger is patient, kind genuine the entire family took a liking to Roger. My son for the first time feels very comfortable with his tennis coach who truly inspires him and at the same time makes him feel very comfortable. He is an amazing patient tennis coach Jeremy. San Juan Capistrano, California.”Jason, parent · shared by Roger

“I haven’t golfed in 30 years and have had reconstructive surgery in the past year and a half. I was worried that I would t be able to swing anymore. We made some adjustments and I feel confident with my ability to start playing again. Looking forward to our other lessons with Brandon!”Andrea, student
About BrandonWilling to come to you! From North San Diego to Orange County. My coaching style is rooted in patience, personalization, and progress. I believe every golfer—whether brand new or returning to the game—deserves coaching that meets them where they are..
My approach focuses on simplifying the game as much as possible so that each swing, routine, and decision becomes repeatable under real on-course conditions. Golf doesn't have to be complicated to be effective—I aim to give students tools they can rely on, even when pressure builds. Ultimately, my goal is to help players build strong fundamentals, develop confidence, and enjoy the process of improvement. I work with students from beginners, intermediate or advanced. I also work with kids who want to give golf a try.

“Sean is very clear with his instructions. He explains exactly what you need to know without being overly verbose and demonstrates well. Some people spend so much time explaining that you don't get much chance to practice, but Sean provides the right balance. If you mess up, he doesn't immediately stop you to re-explain because he understands you need to keep practicing before you can do what he said. Some people keep stopping you to keep re-explaining, preventing you from continuing to try to actually do what they instructed. Sean is good about letting you know what you did right and *how* you did something wrong. He always provides encouraging feedback.”Claire G., student
About SeanHi, I’m Coach Sean! I’m a patient, encouraging pickleball coach who helps beginners and intermediate players build confidence and develop strong fundamentals.

I break each skill down into simple steps and provide clear, practical feedback so you understand not only what to do, but why it works. We can work on serving, returns, groundstrokes, volleys, kitchen play, court positioning, doubles strategy, and overall consistency.
I enjoy coaching kids, teenagers, adults, and seniors. Whether you have never picked up a paddle, are learning with a group, or want to take your game to the next level, I’ll meet you where you are and help you make noticeable progress while enjoying the process.
