About your pickleball coach
Summer classes are held on beautiful new indoor courts and are $15 per hour payable by the student in addition to lesson price. I am a DUPR and PPR certified coach with a passion for teaching pickleball to students of all skill levels. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your game, I will provide a positive and supportive environment for each player to develop their skills and confidence on the court. Ball machine lessons (1 hour) with video feedback are also offered and are a fantastic way to practice, tweak, and improve skills. I am honored to be a brand representative for GAMMA sports and can assist students in choosing paddles and other gear at a discounted price. I also have Selkirk, Warping Point, Diadem, and other paddles in various weights, thickness, grip size, etc., for students to demo. I offer semi-private and small group lessons as well. Let’s play Pickleball, y’all!

Alex has been so amazing. I have completed my 4 lessons with her & there is an unbelievable difference from my first lesson to my last.
This is exactly what I needed.
I am so grateful for her patience and expertise and fantastic coaching skills.
Thank you!!!

That lesson with Alex was quite targeted and straightforward, really focusing on what we needed to improve without any fluff. It’s pretty clear she knows how to streamline the learning process, especially since she was able to highlight areas we hadn’t really pinpointed before. Though, I should mention, we don’t have another scheduled lesson yet, which is a bit of a gap. Still, I appreciate how effective his approach was, and I’m hopeful we can book more in the future.

I’ve been working with Alex since my first time playing pickleball! Since then, we’ve met about once a week and I am so confident on the court now that I am going to intermediate open plays.
Alex knows how to hone in on your trouble spots and provide quick tips to refine your game. I can’t recommend Alex enough especially if you are just starting out. She will quickly help you build up your game step by step!

I met Alex during a beginner clinic and her personality made me feel so welcome and comfortable. My friends were all playing intermediate level and I was a very slow learner. After taking more lessons with Alex, I am now able to play with my friends and others in my community.
One of the best tips Alex gave me was changing my paddle. I was struggling to grip my paddle and she let me play with a few of hers that she let me keep for a week! I found a paddle that suits me and it was a literal “game changer.”
