In that time, I’ve been lucky enough to achieve a 4.7 DUPR and a few key results: Gold at the Northern Beaches Club Champs (4.0+), Silver in the National Pickleball League Singles, Silver at the NSW Championships in both Mixed and Men’s 4.5+, plus Bronze at the Australian Pickleball Championships Singles 4.5+ and Bronze at the NSW Champs in Singles 4.5+.

I hold an AATC Pickleball Silver Coaching Certification, and my coaching style is centred on clarity, patience, and making sure every player walks away feeling like they’ve genuinely improved. I work with everyone from beginners building their foundations to advanced players refining skills and developing strategy, while I am heavily motivated by seeing someone’s confidence and skill grow session by session.

I currently compete around a 5.0 DUPR and have had the opportunity to achieve some great results along the way, including finishing #1 in Australian Masters Singles, #4 in Masters Gender Doubles, and #1 in PPA Masters Singles, placing #2 overall in the PPA race.

Throughout 2025 I won multiple PPA events and toured nationally and internationally, which included representing Australia (Masters) at the World Cup in Florida. I’m also an MLP Masters Pro and competed in NPL Season 1.

My coaching focuses on helping players fine-tune their game through smarter shot selection, tactical decision making, and a strong mental approach. I enjoy working with players who are motivated to improve and ready to take the next step in competition, particularly those aiming to progress into the 4.0–5.0 level.

Pickleball has given me so many great experiences, friendships, and opportunities, and I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned to help others enjoy the game and reach their potential.

I now play at a DUPR rating above 4.0 and have competed in a wide range of events, from Mixed Doubles to Gender Doubles across Opens, 19+, 35+, and 50+ divisions. Highlights include winning gold, silver, and bronze at major tournaments like the NSW Open, Australian PCC (Silver) and various other tournaments across all the levels I have played.

As a coach, I pride myself on creating engaging, supportive and fun sessions that are tailored to each player’s needs.

If you’re looking to refine your intermediate skills, my sessions focus on fundamentals, smart shot selection, court positioning, and competitive play strategies. You’ll receive personalised feedback, targeted drills, and real-game scenarios to help you improve quickly and play with purpose.

My coaching style is supportive, motivating, and results-driven — helping players build consistency, improve footwork, master the soft game, and develop winning patterns of play.

I discovered pickleball three years ago on the Central Coast and have been playing competitively for the past 18 months, currently competing at a 4.3 DUPR and ranked 5th in Australia (35+ Mixed – Women) as of December 2025.

Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to achieve strong results including Gold at the Australian Pickleball Championships (Split Mixed 4+), Silver at the PPA 35+ Mixed (4+), Runner-up at the 2025 National All Stars, plus podium finishes at the ACT, NSW, and Australian Championships in women’s and mixed events.

My coaching style is patient, supportive, and encouraging, with a strong focus on helping players build confidence on court. I’m particularly passionate about supporting women and emerging players who are ready to take the step from social pickleball into competition, especially in women’s and mixed doubles.

My goal is to create a positive environment where players feel comfortable learning fundamentals, developing simple match strategies, and gaining confidence session by session.

As Head Coach at House of Pickle Bellambi & Albion Park, Alex leads all competitive programming and events at the venues, supporting players to progress from social play into structured training, tournaments and higher-level competition.
