As a lifelong tennis player, making the transition to Pickleball has been the funnest process I have pursued in my adult life. My coaching process is geared towards building the foundations of Pickleball for players of all levels, while maintaining laughter and having fun during the learning process. I am a huge proponent of filming shots to assess form, technique and positioning to maximize growth and understanding of various Pickleball strategies. I look forward to sharing some laughter with you as you grow into a higher level pickleballer!

I started playing pickleball as a beginner 2 years ago and Alex, with his guidance and training, helped me become a 4+ level player. He has customized his training to my skill set and I could not be more satisfied with his direction. I highly recommend Alex!!

Alex was fabulous. He had us smiling the whole time, and this lesson helped my pickleball game more than any others. He keeps it light and fun and builds such good habits that have caused me to win way more games at my club. Highly recommend this coach!!
