Alex is a fantastic coach. Every lesson was structured, motivating, and pushed me to improve. I’ve already noticed real progress thanks to Alex’s guidance. I am hoping to make the varsity team.

Coach Alex was so patient and encouraging. I was nervous about starting, but Alex broke everything down in a way that made it fun and easy to learn. I left each lesson feeling more confident.

I’ve worked with a few coaches before, but this was the first time I felt someone really listened to what I needed. The lessons were challenging but motivating, and I could see progress every week. Highly recommend!

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonIn the very first lesson, I focus on making the beginner feel comfortable and confident. I start with a quick warm-up and introduce the basics of stance, posture, and movement. Then I teach one or two simple, foundational skills (like footwork, grip, or body positioning depending on the activity). We finish with a fun drill/game that reinforces what they just learned, so they leave feeling successful.

Lesson 11+At this stage, the beginner is moving into the “advanced basics.” They’ve built comfort with fundamentals, so now we start refining technique, correcting habits, and introducing slightly more complex drills. The focus is still on repetition and confidence but with more challenge in speed, accuracy, and endurance.

How it works

Lesson 4-10Here, beginners can expect steady growth in technique, stamina, and confidence. Each lesson builds on the last with slightly more challenge—adding variations, speed, or controlled pressure. I also introduce game-like drills that simulate real scenarios, so they can see how skills apply outside of isolated practice. By lesson 10, the goal is for them to feel comfortable with the basics, have a few go-to skills they trust, and be ready to explore intermediate concepts.

Lesson 2-3By the second and third lessons, we build consistency in those fundamentals while adding one or two new skills. I start to connect movements together into short sequences so they can see progress. We also introduce light partner or situational drills that make the training feel more dynamic.

Youth players

Working with kidsWhen I work with kids, I keep lessons fun, positive, and engaging. I break down skills into simple steps and use games or challenges to keep them moving and excited. I focus on building confidence first, then gradually layering in technique and discipline. My goal is to create a supportive environment where kids learn the fundamentals, stay active, and develop a love for the game.

Working with teenagersWhen I work with teenagers, I adapt lessons to challenge them while keeping the training supportive and motivating. I emphasize discipline, teamwork, and goal setting, while also giving them space to develop independence and confidence in their abilities. Lessons often include drills that build both skill and decision-making, with opportunities to apply what they’ve learned in real or game-like situations.

What I can bringI can bring indoor balls, cones, ladders for skills, etc.
