With three years of pickleball instruction, I tailor my coaching to each student's needs. My passion is fostering confidence and skill in a fun, supportive environment. Let's elevate your game together!
I wrote a fun book about pickleball entitled: Is There Pickleball in Heaven?” New students get a complimentary copy of this book. I’m certified Level I Instructor with the IPTPA. Over the years I have taught about 40 people on game fundamentals. I teach indoors as well as outside, weather permitting. I have an inside option for the colder weather. We can discuss. It is at a conveniently located pickleball center.
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!

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!
