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...

"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.
