With over two decades of recreational tennis and ping pong experience, coupled with two years immersed in the world of Pickleball, I've cultivated a deep passion for racket sports. Transitioning into coaching, I've discovered a profound love for Pickleball and pursued full-time certification as a PPR instructor. My goal is simple: to share my enthusiasm for the sport and instill proper techniques, guiding players to their fullest potential on the Pickleball court.
"Thank you for helping us learn the game. We had fun today and look forward to playing more!
I’ve been playing pickleball for 6+ years with a strong tennis background, and what started as a fun hobby quickly became something I really care about. I play at a 4.5 level and love helping others to play stronger, move better, feel more confidant, and actually enjoy the game on a deeper level. To me, improving in pickleball is more than just skill, it’s freedom. The freedom to move, compete, express yourself, and have a whole lot of fun. My only goal is to help you get it
"After five lessons with Alex, we’ve built a solid foundation on fundamentals like footwork, shot placement, backhands, and situational serve variations. The biggest improvements I’ve noticed are in my serving and dinking. I’ve been able to apply what I’ve learned directly in challenge court play—my serves feel more effective and help set up points better, and I’ve become less predictable overall. I’m also starting to think through points more instead of just reacting. Alex has a great eye for mechanics. In our last session on movement and positioning, he helped simplify a few habits that were making me overcomplicate things. His drills are practical and translate well into real match situations. I’m very happy with my progress so far and would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to elevate their game.
I’m a former USTA 4.0+ tennis player and current 4.5 DUPR pickleball player who has transitioned into coaching with a strong passion for helping others improve.

I’m fully dedicated to teaching pickleball and enjoy working with players of all levels, whether they’re just starting out or looking to sharpen their competitive game. My goal is to create a fun, supportive environment while helping players build confidence and improve their skills on the court.

Though I’d like to see a bit more variety in the drills, his attentive approach makes the whole learning process quite engaging. Still, I’m optimistic about building on what I’ve learned so far and look forward to more lessons with Javier.

"This was my second lesson with Coach Katherine. We worked more on dinks, drops, footwork. Coach Katherine then introduced me to drip shots. There is so much detail that goes into these intricate shots that I was not aware of. I appreciate Coach Katherine’s enthusiasm, guidance and positive motivation. I’m looking forward to my next lesson.
Passionate about all things pickleball! As an experienced player, I've spent the last three years sharing my love for the game, helping others develop their skills and achieve their pickleball goals. Let's hit the court and have some fun while we take your game to the next level.

First lesson with advanced players will discuss where they are at now and what they wish to focus on and where they want to be. This lesson will most likely consist of working on just one or two points that the student wishes to focus on the most. Usually something like fast hands at the net, transition play or third shots.
