My name is Roberto. I was born and raised in San José, Costa Rica, and I came to the United States nine years ago to play college tennis. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University (nation's top 10 NCAA Division II school) with a B.A. in Business Management and served as the team's captain on my last semester. I have also coached beginner and intermediate tennis players of all ages in Costa Rica as well as several collegiate dual matches. Regarding my playing history, I have played tournaments in over 10 countries, obtained a junior international ranking, and reached a ranking of #8 in Costa Rica. As of this year, I started coaching pickleball and the experience has been no different! Concepts are very similar and time to raise level is actually shorter!
"I appreciated Roberto’s patience and support. I felt encouraged through my lesson and gained some confidence by the end.

Coach Gael
pickleball coach
Adapting pickleball coaching to kids requires focusing on engagement, simplicity, and fun while teaching the fundamentals. Here’s how I approach it: 1. Simplify the Rules: Kids can get overwhelmed by too much information, so I break down the rules into simple, easy-to-remember points, emphasizing the basics like serving, rallying, and scoring. 2. Use Kid-Friendly Equipment: I incorporate lightweight paddles and lower nets to make the game more accessible and enjoyable for younger players. 3. Interactive Drills: I design drills that feel more like games, such as target practice or rally challenges, to keep them motivated and excited about learning. 4. Encourage Teamwork: Pairing kids up for doubles matches or group drills fosters cooperation and builds social skills while they learn. 5. Positive Reinforcement: I focus on celebrating small victories, like a well-executed serve or rally, to build confidence and enthusiasm for the game. 6. Short Sessions: Kids have shorter attention spans, so I keep sessions brief and energetic to maximize engagement. By creating a fun and supportive environment, I ensure kids develop skills while fostering a love for pickleball.
