About Alex

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

What students say...

"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.

First lesson with Alex. He came on time with his equipment and was easy to set up the lessons with. Friendly and knowledgeable with the love for the pickleball game. I was preparing for a future tournament so this lesson consists of a mix of everything, from different types of serves, to dinking, and returns. He evaluated my fundamentals and helped support my foundation and polished areas that I had issues being consistent with. Easy to work with and has an eye on picking up little details that I missed. Looking forward to future lessons and will review again on the progress.
