Those formative years on the court shaped me into the player and person I am today, driven by a love for the game and a commitment to excellence.

Nuhamin
Having spent the last 20 years on the diamond, I've developed a passion for fostering a love for baseball in players of all ages and skill levels. I have been coaching players ages 3-18 for the last 7 years after finishing my collegiate baseball career in 2017. In that time, I have learned how to connect and effectively coach children and young adults of all ages, skill levels, and backgrounds. My coaching philosophy centers on building a strong foundation of fundamental skills and mechanics in an effort to allow each player to reach their maximum potential. My main goal is to improve on-field success while creating a fun and supportive learning environment. Everyone has dreams, it’s my job to help turn them into reality.
"My 8yr old son’s confidence went through the roof after just one lesson. The first pitch , in his first game after his lesson, he pulled a hard line drive into the gap and kept hitting the ball hard in his later at bats. In three years of playing spring and fall ball, he has never done that. He’s already expressed he can’t wait till his next lesson and there will be plenty more! Highly recommend.
Peter
I have 5+ years of coaching experience across all ages and abilities, including running the TOPSoccer program for players with special needs. I'm flexible, adaptable, and passionate about helping players grow both on and off the field.
"Honestly, I was quite pleased with the lesson, especially how Dylan emphasized controlling the ball under pressure , that really helped me feel more confident during drills. Still, I think a bit more focus on position awareness could make the next lesson even better, but overall, I’d say it was quite helpful. If you’re looking to improve your touch and decision-making, Dylan might be worth trying out.
Dylan
I’m a center back currently competing at the NCAA Division I level, with experience playing for Utah Valley University (UVU), University of Central Arkansas (UCA), and Gardner-Webb University. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the game, especially from a defensive perspective, and I take pride in my leadership, positioning, and ability to read the field. As a player, I’ve always been vocal and disciplined — someone my teammates can count on. Now as a coach and mentor, I aim to bring that same energy to developing young players. I focus on teaching the fundamentals of defending, building confidence on the ball, and helping athletes grow both technically and mentally. Whether I’m training center backs to lead the backline or helping players understand the game at a higher level, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.
Jacob
I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with consistent experience competing in tournaments. I’m on the court nearly every day and stay closely connected to the local pickleball community, especially in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a core part of my life—including basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball stands out as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.
"PJ was great and very good introducing me to the sport. Well worth it.
