About Me

My name is Alexander Baker. I am a USA Pickleball-certified coach located in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire. I started Upper Valley Pickleball because I saw a growing demand for quality coaching that is inclusive, fun, and affordable. Signing up for my email newsletter will help support a local business, but more importantly, it will provide you insights into the amazing pickleball community in the Upper Valley. I publish a pickleball blog, DinkDropDrive, where I recount my experience at tournaments, share tips to improve your game, and discuss pickleball current events from the perspective of a New Englander.
