I’m the founder of SBA Tennis & Pickleball, a Bay Area academy focused on delivering high-quality, structured, and fun tennis and pickleball instruction for players of all ages and levels. While I work directly with students, SBA is more than just one coach—I lead a team of experienced, high-energy instructors who consistently deliver professional, engaging lessons across all programs. Our coaches work with everyone from beginners to advanced players, with a strong emphasis on proper technique, game understanding, and long-term development. All lessons take place on our reserved courts at Cupertino, so you’re guaranteed a court every session—no waiting, no interruptions, and no risk of losing your time like at public courts. My background as a licensed physical therapist with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy allows me to bring a unique, results-driven approach to coaching. I specialize in stroke biomechanics, movement efficiency, and injury prevention, helping players improve faster while staying healthy. With over a decade of coaching experience and a 5.0 NTRP playing level, I’ve worked with players ranging from young beginners to advanced competitors. Through SBA Tennis & Pickleball, we’ve built a reputation for making learning simple, structured, and enjoyable—whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time or looking to take your game to the next level.

"My son (6) has been going to weekly group classes for almost a year. We really like the coaches here. Both Coach Brandon & Coach Jovan are very good at coaching young kids and also keep the kids engaged. I also appreciate the way how Coach Brandon run the clinic a lot! It gives us a lot of flexibilities to fit in my kid and my family's schedules, which is a huge bonus!!

Hi! My name is Jackson Levin, and I am a trumpet instructor and brass specialist. Specializing in trumpet performance and pedagogy, I earned my bachelor's degree in music performance from the Herb Alpert School of Music at UCLA. I've played trumpet for over 18 years and have studied with lauded trumpet players, including Jens Lindemann, Thomas Hooten, Jennifer Marotta, and Adam Luftman. As a performer, I've played with the UCLA Philharmonia, Wind Ensemble, Brass Ensemble, and Early Music Ensemble. I am currently a participating member of the Stanford Medicine Orchestra and have performed in various pit orchestras for many student-led musical productions, including Fiddler on the Roof, Assassins, Sweeney Todd, and Cinderella (to name a few). I was the lead trumpet player in a jazz septet from 2008-2012, and currently play in a jazz quartet alongside three other Bay Area Musicians: Patrick Talesfore, Jr., Jesus Ramos, and Nima Hafezieh. Overall, I have a strong background in classical and jazz performance. As a music educator, I firmly believe in the importance of offering gentle and supportive guidance to my students while working collaboratively through difficult musical concepts and techniques. By emphasizing the importance of patience and perseverance, I help students analyze difficult musical passages and phrases using a measure-by-measure approach. I believe that both attention to detail and freedom of creative expression can instill a deep understanding and lifelong passion for music that inspires students to derive both joy and curiosity in their practice and performance.
