| Stuck at 2.5–3.5? I specialize in individualized pickleball lessons for players who want to break through their plateau and build a strong, reliable foundation.
Many players reach 2.5–3.5 simply by playing more. But eventually, experience alone stops working. Their shots stay inconsistent—and often they don’t understand why.
That’s where I come in.
Every lesson is customized to identify what is really holding your game back and rebuild the foundation behind it.
I don’t just teach HOW to hit a shot.
You’ll understand:
WHY the shot works
WHEN to use it
WHAT to do in different situations
HOW to execute it consistently
Even within the HOW, you’ll learn the principles behind the technique—not just copy a motion—so you can recognize mistakes, make adjustments, and improve independently.
My approach:
Assess → Understand → Fix → Practice → Apply
We focus only on what your game actually needs—whether that’s your serve, return, drive, drop, dink, reset, footwork, positioning, or shot selection.
New to pickleball? You’re welcome too. Build the right foundation from day one so you can progress faster and avoid habits that become harder to fix later.

| Hi I'm Joshua Tam! I coach focusing on decision-making, consistency and repeatable shots. I am a believer in that techniques like dinking, resetting, blocking are key to a strong pickleball foundation. These are my greatest strengths that have allowed me to do very well in high level money tournaments.

My personal tournament results include 2nd place in 4.0. 4th in 4.5, and 2nd place in 5.0 DUPR events. Fremont, California (+1 other location) |
| Brian brings a rare combination of rapid progression, high-level competitive experience, and analytical depth to his coaching. In just eight months, he climbed from a 2.7 to a 4.599 DUPR competing regularly with 4.5+ level players. That kind of trajectory isn’t accidental. It reflects deliberate practice, smart drilling, and a deep understanding of patterns, probabilities, and pressure moments. Brian doesn’t just teach shots—he teaches advantage. He thinks in terms of exchange ratios, positioning leverage, and when a speed-up truly earns you a 51–49 edge instead of opening you up to a counter. His fast hands and aggressive instincts are backed by thoughtful decision-making, helping players build controlled offense rather than reckless pace.
What separates Brian is how clearly he sees the game. He understands rating systems, regional play styles, and how skill translates across levels. He’s studied what actually moves DUPR, what causes plateaus, and how to break through them—because he’s lived it. Whether you’re a 3.0 trying to stabilize your third shot, a 4.0 stuck at a ceiling, or a tournament player refining hands battles, Brian coaches with structure, intentionality, and measurable progress in mind. If you want to level up intelligently—not just hit harder, but win smarter—he’ll help you build a game that holds up under pressure.

| Hey everyone, I’m Jon! I’m a 5.0 level player and professional coach that has 3+ years of teaching experience at The Hub Alameda and locally. I’m looking to bring my expertise to help local players improve their game!
As someone who worked their way up to 5.0 from the intermediate level, I am intimately familiar with all the pitfalls along the way from beginner to advanced levels and what it takes to grind to that level.
My teaching philosophy has always been rooted in approaching the game as simply as possible. I emphasize simple, repeatable shot mechanics. And equally important, I take the time to explain how shot selection and strategy impact your progress just as much as shot execution!
I’m 100% confident that in just a single, one hour session we can make noticeable improvement in either shot quality or a shift in strategic thinking.
You can always expect each session to be tailored to your specific needs. Pacing will always be adjusted to your progress. At the end of each session I’ll send you notes for the key points we covered as well as actionable feedback.
Looking forward to working together to help you improve your game to the next level!

| I played tennis at an intermediate level in my younger years, winning a few trophies along the way. I picked up pickleball during the pandemic and have since competed in about seven tournaments, earning multiple bronze medals in singles and a Silver in doubles. I mostly focus on improving my game and sharing my passion for pickleball through coaching. As a certified PPR coach, I teach players of all ages, from kids as young as 5 to seniors in their seventies. I’m currently the personal pickleball trainer at the East Valley YMCA, where I love helping others discover and enjoy the sport. Milpitas, California |
