I'm a PCI Certified instructor and a USA Pickleball Ambassador who's dedicated my career to one mission: helping passionate pickleball players unlock their true potential… especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
I specialize in teaching pickleball to players 50 and over who are just getting started. My goal is simple: help beginners feel comfortable, confident, and excited every time they step onto the court.
When you're new to pickleball, there's more to learn than just how to hit the ball…
You want to know where to stand, when to move, how to serve, what grip to use, and what you're actually supposed to do once the point starts.
You want to stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling like you belong out there.
I excel at breaking down complex skills into easy-to-understand steps. I enjoy explaining and demonstrating the "how" and "why" behind every shot, and I'm able to work with and suggest modifications based on your skill level and any physical restrictions.
We'll make sense of the rules, get your serve and grip working, show you where to stand and when to move, and work on the things that will make you feel more confident every time you step onto the court.
But honestly, that's only the beginning.
Because pickleball can become so much more than a game.
It can be the reason you get out of the house on a Monday morning. The place where you meet new friends, laugh between points, find a regular group to play with, and suddenly have a whole new part of your social life.
I've seen it happen again and again. That's what I want for you.
Rules of the Game (Simplified):
Paddle Grip Fundamentals:
You've played a little. You know the basics. But once the game starts, you're still not always sure where to stand, when to move, or what to do with the ball coming at you.
Why figure it all out the hard way when you can build the right foundation in just four focused hours?
We'll sharpen your serve, shots, positioning, movement, and decision-making… while you play and get coached in real time.
By the end, you'll stop wondering what you're supposed to do and start playing with confidence.
And that's when pickleball gets really fun: more games, new friends, better rallies, and a reason to look forward to getting back on the court.
Most camps charge hefty prices and send you home with nothing but memories. We're giving you a complete transformation system for life:
Written by Obsessed Pickleballers head coach Mark Ianni, it captures everything we teach on the court and goes even deeper, so you always know what to work on next.
With over 500 five-star reviews from players just like you, the book has helped a lot of beginners keep progressing to the next level.
Imagine having hundreds of players and coaches across the country in your corner, with weekly coaching, answers whenever you need them, and videos to keep improving with your new pickleball friends.
Your camp friends join the weekly sessions too, so you're learning together even after October 26.
Your 4-hour camp is just the beginning. Keep learning, keep playing, and wherever you travel, you'll have people to play with. Your camp crew just became a nationwide pickleball family.
This camp is designed specifically for beginner players at the 2.0-2.5 level. Every drill, every explanation, and every piece of coaching is calibrated for players who are new to the game or still building their core fundamentals.
With a maximum of 8 players, you'll receive plenty of personalized feedback throughout the camp. I watch every player closely and make real-time corrections that create visible, immediate improvement within the session itself.
Most people come alone, and that is one of the best parts. Everyone walks in as a stranger and a beginner, which takes all the pressure out of the room. By the wrap-up, you'll be swapping numbers, and by the following week, a lot of my campers are playing together.
You don't need a DUPR rating. The 2.0-2.5 range is simply to help you understand who this camp is designed for. If you're new to pickleball or still building your fundamentals, you're in exactly the right place.
Just bring your paddle, court shoes, athletic wear, protective eyewear (optional), water, some snacks, and a towel.
Just let us know when you register, and I'll have a loaner paddle waiting for you. Plenty of people take their first swing with a borrowed paddle, and by the end of the camp you'll know a lot more about what to buy for yourself.

Mini Drills:
That's a SURPRISE! And a little hint: It's another perfect guide for women 50 and above beginner players.
Yes. I adapt every session to the pace and physical needs of the players in front of me, and I'm able to suggest modifications based on any physical restrictions. Safety comes first, always. You'll be challenged appropriately and never pushed beyond what's comfortable for your body.
This camp is designed specifically for players 50 and over. If you're 50+ and at the beginner level, you're exactly who I built this session for.
Yes! This camp is held in a fully indoor facility.
Immediately upon registration:
You can start learning before you even arrive. The SURPRISE bonus will be sent to you after the camp.
Because I excel at breaking down complex skills into easy-to-understand steps, and I explain the "how" and the "why" behind every shot so it actually sticks. Anyone can play on day one. My job is to make sure you leave with real confidence and real skills, not just a good morning behind you. Every drill has a purpose. And you walk away with lifetime community access and ongoing coaching support.
We understand that life happens, and we always aim to be as fair and flexible as possible.
