"Very easy talk to,very professional,she helped me a lot

Hi, I’m Kharlton Belmar — a former professional soccer player with 10 years of experience competing at the highest levels in the MLS, USL, and internationally with the Grenada National Team. I’ve had the honor of representing top clubs across the U.S. and playing Division 1 college soccer before turning pro. Over the past decade, I’ve trained with and against some of the best in the game — and I bring that same energy, discipline, and knowledge to every coaching session. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build your fundamentals or a competitive athlete chasing the next level, I tailor each session to your goals. I’ve been privately coaching players of all ages and skill levels for the last 10 years, helping athletes improve their technical skills, game IQ, and confidence — on and off the field. Let’s put in the work and level up your game.

With over 10 years of coaching baseball at multiple levels, I bring significant experience helping players achieve their goals on and off the field.

My golf journey began at 23 when I shot a 122 in my first round, but I was immediately hooked. Having played three sports in high school and running track in college, I was no stranger to athletic challenges. Determined to be considered a good golfer, I aimed to break 85, and with the help of free lessons from a pro impressed by my driving distance, I achieved that goal within a year. After moving into a new home, my neighbor, a 6 handicap, became my playing partner, and within two years, I was consistently breaking 80. My passion for golf grew as I caddied for a friend on the Orlando Golf Tour and participated in the Charlotte City Amateur and the Charlotte Metro Amateur My lowest career round is 71. These experiences have been crucial to my golf maturation, and I firmly believe that golf is the world's hardest yet most rewarding game.

I’m a passionate and energetic tennis coach who loves making lessons fun, engaging, and tailored for kids ages 7 –12.

I’ve been coaching my daughter since she was 5 years old, guiding her through red, orange, and now green ball stages. She currently competes in USTA junior tournaments and has won tournaments and matches against older players. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of how kids develop and stay motivated in tennis.
