I'm a two-time national champion, with titles at the National Senior Olympics and the Men's Senior National Indoor Championships.
My own journey started when a friend suggested we try this game I'd never heard of. We went down to the only public courts in town and played. Then I discovered the doubles game, and that was it. Shootouts, deception, fast hands, quick decisions. I was hooked from the start.
When you're new to pickleball, learning to hit the ball is just the beginning. You also need to know where to stand, when to move, how to serve, which grip to use, and how to navigate each point.
My goal is to help you connect the dots, build confidence in your decisions, and feel right at home on the court.
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.
I got hooked on the shootouts, the deception, the fast hands and quick decisions. You may get hooked on something else entirely. Plenty of people get hooked on the people.
It can be the reason you get out of the house on a Thursday 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.
Meet Your Coach & Players
Paddle Grip Fundamentals
Learning to Serve
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 two 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 November 12.
Your 2-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.
Absolutely! You don't need a partner to join. We'll pair you with players at a similar level for every drill and game, and you'll rotate partners throughout the day, so you get to play with everyone. Many players who come on their own leave with new friends and playing partners.
Every camp is capped at 8 players with 1 coach, an 8:1 ratio. That means you'll get personal attention and feedback on every drill, and you'll never be stuck waiting at the back of the line.
Yes. Every camp includes a break built right into the lesson plan, so you can rest, rehydrate, and chat with your fellow players. You'll finish feeling energized, not worn out.
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.

You can start learning before you even arrive. The SURPRISE bonus will be sent to you after the camp.
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.
Because I teach from proven methods and a curriculum built over ten years, rather than a loose collection of tips. Anyone can play on day one. My job is to make sure you leave with real confidence and real skills, not just a good afternoon behind you. 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.
