Private pickleball lessons in Massapequa Park, New York

I’ve been taking lessons with Dan Mariani for the past few months, and I can honestly say it’s been a game-changer. From the very beginning, Dan has been patient and balances technical skill with strategic play. One of the areas I’ve seen the most improvement in is my serve. Dan had me adjust my technique which not only added more power but he also worked on drills to teach me how to place the serve at my opponent’s back hand. Beyond just the serve, we’ve also worked on dinks, 3rd shot drops and lob techniques to make me more mindful of where I’m positioning my shots to have better control in the game. Dan truly cares about my growth as a player and continues to communicate off the court as well with more tips and suggestions. I would definitely recommend him!

Highly recommend Dan for pickleball lessons! Takes his time and very patient. I’ve had 6 lessons so far and have already improved my game!!

I always look forward to pickleball lessons with coach Dan! I am learning, having fun, and playing better than ever!

what a grading Instructor

Dan Mariani Is an excellent instructor. I have had the pleasure of training with him on several occasions. He is patient, informative, and kind. He has taught me 3 different serves, how to master dinking from side to side and best of all how to stand my ground at the kitchen line. He has always taught me to be aware of not only where my partner is but also to see where my opponents are at all times. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or seasoned player, everyone can benefit from his knowledge.

I’ve been playing pickleball for about one year. I’ve been self taught with the help of some very patient friends.. I knew that I needed more training and was so fortunate to meet Dan.. he has helped me to understand where I needed improvement and with patience and kindness he has truly helped my game. I really enjoy my lessons and have come away with another technique each time I train.. important to note also, Dan works with everyone’s schedule and makes time for his students.. along with articles, his experience and his dedication rest assured this is the best money you’ll spend on a pickleball lesson!
