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.

I’ve had a passion for competitive golf from an early age, with achievements like winning the Peninsula Country Club Junior Championship in 1999 and holding records at Burlingame Country Club and Harding Park. I was ranked as the No. 1 player on a team with two future U.S. Open competitors and played for the UC Davis golf team in 2001 and 2002. I've trained with over 10 PGA professionals and attended the prestigious Jim McLean National Junior Summer Academy. With over three years of teaching junior golf, I love working with beginners and young players, while also running my own business, FORE Golf Towels.

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.

I built my surfing foundation through Junior Lifeguards, wrestling, 24hr ocean/cliff rescue and time with shredder friends. With 33 years of dedicated practice, I now coach surfers of all levels, sharing techniques, insights, challenges and unique awareness the surf breaks demand. I've also used CAD to design next-gen surfboard fins. These airfoil-based, winged fins generate more thrust and lift, making surfing easier and more controlled for beginners while unlocking radical lines for experts.

"I've been surfing for a long time, but I love how Todd surfs and decided I'd ask him to try some coaching with me. He was able to point out some things about what board I may rather surf, and he ended up being right! He also shared with me a number of unique navigation and wave-tracking methods that I find fascinating and very useful.

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.
