Best 13 coaches for Pickleball lessons near Solana Beach, CA

From an experienced school teacher to a 4.5 rated Pickleball instructor, I've transitioned my dedication for teaching into a new athletic arena. With over 3 decades of tennis playing and coaching under my belt, including a two-year stint at Mesa College, I bring a rich and diverse experience to my coaching. My journey into the dynamic world of Pickleball started a short 2 years ago, and in that short span, I've achieved a player rating of 4.0 to 4.5. Currently, I am currently a Pro-Certified instructor with the PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry) to further strengthen my Pickleball coaching credentials.

Hello, I'm Alvin, a 4.0 rated Pickleball player with a wealth of experience on the court. My passion extends beyond teaching you the sport; I want you to find real enjoyment from each game.

My approach to coaching focuses on key aspects of the game: comprehending fundamental rules, mastering vital techniques, and strategically engaging your opponent. By learning to strike the ball effectively, you can keep your opponents off balance and enhance your overall game. With me as your coach, every session will be a step closer to becoming a confident and skilled player.

"I think the lesson was quite helpful in refining my pickleball strokes and opponents areas to exploit. Alvin's guidance was clear and easy to follow, making me feel more confident about my game.

I started playing pickleball in 2014 and have been successful in local tournament play events. Due to my early experience, I started the pickleball program at my local tennis club in Scripps Ranch as it increased from 2 to 4 to 8 pickleball courts. From there, with the help of the tennis pro, we started with large groups (30 -40 players) for pickleball training sessions years ago until interrupted by the Covid pandemic. We were able to start training again in 2023 with our current expanded player base. For the last few years, I have continued with private training sessions at local recreation areas, parks and at résidences.
