Private Lessons & Coaches in Capitol Heights, MD

I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with consistent experience competing in tournaments. I’m on the court nearly every day and stay closely connected to the local pickleball community, especially in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a core part of my life—including basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball stands out as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.

My approach combines sound fundamentals with instruction tailored to your goals and learning style.

My goal is to help you understand your game and step onto the course with confidence.

"Oh, my last lesson with Alexis was quite useful, especially in learning three swings with my short irons, high shots, lower ones, and recovery. I focused on centering the ball on the face, a six-inch takeaway, and relaxing my hands. Still, I think a bit more work on driver consistency and short game would be helpful, but I’ve got some good foundation now. If you're interested, Alexis can definitely help build a broader skill set.
