MEET YOUR COACH

Hi, I'm Coach Alex Baschoff

Meet Coach Alex – Your Guide To The Next Level

I’m a PPR certified pickleball instructor and former physics and algebra educator with over two decades of teaching experience. My mission is clear: help players 50+ master the strategic elements of pickleball that separate good players from great ones.

What I bring to your game:

PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor
20+ years as a credentialed physics and algebra teacher
Tournament competitor with gold medal finish in my very first tournament
Consistent medal placements in competitive 3.5 and 4.0 divisions
Lifetime competitive athlete with deep understanding of performance mindset
Proven track record helping students achieve breakthrough results

My story? Being a lifetime athlete, when I turned 51, I came to a fork in the road in life when I thought my days of being competitive had ended. I heard about pickleball and decided to give it a try. I fell in love with the sport right away. My athletic ability was renewed and I found that I took to it instantly. I haven’t looked back and began coaching after only a few months.

My approach: With a 20+ year career as a physics and algebra teacher, I have always maintained a desire to help others get better. Whether at school or on the court with all levels of players, I have continued to enjoy the feeling of others reaching their full potential in all aspects of life. I bring the same systematic, analytical approach from teaching physics and algebra to teaching pickleball—breaking down complex movements into simple, understandable steps.

Here's what makes my approach unstoppable:

I bring two decades of teaching expertise combined with competitive tournament success and the analytical mind of a physics teacher—helping you understand not just what to do, but why it works.

But here’s what I’m MOST excited about: The drilling. Lots and lots of drilling.

Not boring, repetitive drilling—but the kind of high-quality, focused drilling that helped me win gold in my first tournament. The kind where you hit 40-50 balls in rapid succession and feel yourself improving in real-time. The kind that turns confusion into certainty.

I don’t waste time talking. We drill. You improve. You feel it immediately.

On February 21st, I’m bringing this expertise to Upland.

Schedule

Your 4-Hour Transformation Journey

HOUR 1:

Introductions, goals of the camp like “What am I going to get out of today”, answering questions and identifying any physical limitations for camp members, what skills we will be working on during each of the 4 hours, break schedules, warm up activities like stretching, loosening up and what you should do to begin playing a match during rec time or tournament open play so measure everyone’s skill level, and finally open play to measure everyone’s skill level and abilities

HOUR 2:

Developing higher level skills (4.0 drills) that will help students increase their decision making abilities in a rec or tournament game. We will work on each drill for 15 minutes AMD 30 minutes on the last drill. Drill 1 will be HAPPY HANDS (counters and resets) which will reinforce patience and consistency in a volley setting. Drill 2 will be BINGO dinking which will test a players ability to speed up at the right time while focused on creating dinking patters which is crucial at 4.0+ play. Drill 3 will be SURVIVOR which is a 30 minute drill that incorporates the importance of resets into the non-volley zone (kitchen). This is one of the “least” practiced skills that should be worked on at least once a week by all students. This is most effective with 4 drillers but can work with only using 2 people.

HOUR 3:

This hour will include a 30 minute lesson and practice on “Who covers the middle?” Students will learn that court positioning is a HUGE part of being successful on the pickleball court. We will learn/review the ideology of RESPECTING THE X and how, working in random, can cut down on those dreaded “was that mine or yours?” The second 30 minutes we will work on court positioning during dinking. Most players confuse where to base themselves during a heated dink/speed up battle.

HOUR 4:

The first 30 minutes of hour number 4 will be used to play a game/drill called GET TO THE NET which teaches the necessary skills to hit an effective approach drop into the non-volley zone (kitchen) while moving through the dreaded “transition zone”. This is a great way to understand how to rush the net when a ball is dropped into the transition zone and make an effective drop counter while you position yourself at the kitchen line and prepare to win the point (majority of points are WON when you are your partner are in synch at the kitchen line). The last 30 minutes of the camp will be for open play to showcase the skills learned throughout all 4 hours.

Why We Are Obsessed With Drilling (And Why You Will Be Too)

Most camps spend too much time talking and not enough time doing.

I’m the opposite.

Here’s my philosophy: Drilling = Transformation

You don’t get better by listening to lectures about the third shot drop. You get better by hitting 20-30 third shot drops in a row while a coach watches and corrects you.

And here’s the truth about why I’m obsessed with drilling:

Because let’s be honest—we all love that moment when we implement something new and it actually WORKS, don’t we?

That moment when you adjust your paddle angle and suddenly your third shot lands exactly where you want it.

That rush when you hit 10 serves in a row to the same spot.

That feeling when your opponent fires a fast ball at you and you put it away cleanly.

You don’t have to wait weeks to see if the coaching worked. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.

Player Stories

See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.

Yeah. I’m Gene Justman out of, Denver, Colorado, and, good nuts and bolts program on, playing pickleball. I learned to get low.

I learned to hit the ball long and towards the back line. Great program.

– Gene Justman

Hi, I’m Debbie from Oklahoma. I really enjoyed today’s drill. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations. I got plenty of reps, learned many new aspects of the game, and added to my toolbox. It was a great experience.

– Debbie

Hi, I’m Linda. I’m from Iowa. I joined the camp today. It was great to touch on all different aspects. We’re able to drill enough that we got good at all the different aspects. So I’m ready to hit the courts.

– Linda

A super helpful tip today thatI know I can apply immediatelyand some really great drills that my wife, who’s my playing partner, and I can can put to use this week as well. It was a great clinic.

– Camp Attendee

Hi. I just finished an Obsessed
Pickleballers clinic, and I would
recommend it to anyone who wants to get better. Mark has a great way of explaining things, and he teaches in a way that anyone can get better in the four hour session.

– Camp Attendee

Remember The Last Time You Walked Off The
Court Frustrated?

You know that moment when you replay the match in your head…

…thinking about all the shots you should have made?

…watching players you know you should beat walk away with the win?

…feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?

That ends on February 21st.

Because by the time you walk off the court at 4:00 PM, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, your regular partners will immediately notice something has shifted.

IMAGINE THIS: It's Tuesday, February 24th (Three Days After Camp)

You walk onto your local court for your regular morning game.

As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.

“What happened to you?”

Your serves are landing deep and aggressive—no more shanks, no more pop-ups. When they return, you’re already reading where the ball is going. Your third shot drop is pulling them out of position. At the kitchen line, you’re controlling rallies with patience and precision they’ve never seen from you before.

By the third game, they’re asking what you did. By the fifth game, they’re asking where you learned it. By the time you leave, they’re asking if you can teach them.

That’s the difference between who you are right now and who you’ll be after the camp.

And it all starts the moment you register—because the transformation begins before you even arrive.

What You'll Actually Walk Away With (The Real You'll Dominate Points Without Exhausting Yourself Outcomes)

You'll Dominate Points Without Exhausting Yourself

I will teach you how to control rallies through intelligent positioning and shot selection—not power. You’ll start winning more points while using less energy.

Soon after camp, your opponents will work twice as hard for half the results. While they’re gasping for air, you’ll be fresh and ready for the next point.

This is especially important for us 50+ players: You’ll learn to play smarter, not harder, which means you can play multiple times a week without wearing yourself out or risking injury.

You'll Meet Your New Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)

You will meet other passionate 50+ players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and have permanent contact with everyone you meet.

Nobody gets left behind. Whether you’re naturally social or more reserved, local or visiting, you’ll be welcomed and connected with the entire group through the community platform.

Then, after camp, the group chat starts buzzing with game invitations and practice sessions. By next month, you’ll have a regular crew of players who understand your goals, your schedule, and your commitment to improvement. No more showing up alone, hoping to find a good match.

You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation

I will eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? Your body knows. When do you move to the kitchen? You’re already moving. How do you handle the lob? You’re executing before you finish thinking about it.

Then, when you’re playing matches next week, your opponents will watch you differently. They’ll see someone who plays with confidence and certainty—someone who’s always one step ahead.

You'll Stop Making The Same Mistakes That Have Been Holding You Back

I will help you identify the 2-3 technical flaws that are currently holding you back. When I show you exactly how to fix them, the shots that used to frustrate you suddenly become your strengths.

Most players spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single morning.

The forehand that used to sail long?

Landing deep with topspin. The backhand you used to avoid? Now your go-to shot. The serves that made you nervous?

Setting up points in your favor.

You'll Reignite The Passion You Had When You First Discovered This Game

It will show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave buzzing with excitement, already planning your next practice session.

Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? When you couldn’t wait to play? If that feeling has been fading lately…

On Feb 21st, it comes roaring back.

Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally break through that plateau—that’s when the obsession returns.
