Private Pickleball Lessons & Coaches in Orangetree, FL

Having had a life long passion for racquet sports (Certified Tennis PTR coach 20+ years and national tournament player in Platform Tennis), I was delighted to discover Pickleball 10 years ago when I moved to Naples, Florida. I was fortunate enough to win the Gold Medal in my first Men’s Open Tournament at Veterans Park. A couple of years later, I also won a gold at the US Open. Competing and playing Pickleball for exercise is so exhilarating and addictive. I met so many new players along the way who have asked me to help start them safely or improve their mid level games. I truly enjoy coaching and received my Pickleball IPTPA Teachers certification in 2017.

"For someone who has never stepped on a Pickleball court, I have learned so much from Dominic in my first two lessons! He is an awesome coach!

I started playing tennis at 11 years old. Among this sport also ping pong was my favorite. I met Pickleball 4 years ago and it seemed a natural combination between the two. Just easier to mastering. I started my path taking private lessons and advanced camps and three years ago i achieved the first PPR Level I Professional Coach Certification. Recently I achieved the Level II from PPR and then I joined IPTPA obtaining the Level I & II Professional Coach Certification. I am a VAIR Rater, a new, innovative, company which has developed an excellent system to rate players for the players. www.vairified.com I am a very patient teacher and a good listener. I enjoy to see my students to learn and to improve their skills.

"Excellent first session. Silvano focused on my goals and immediately identified my issues. The drills he chose pushed me to improve on my weaknesses.

I currently compete at the 5.0 level in tournaments. I have a 5.003 mixed doubles rating through the paddlewars organization. I charge $40 a head for group lessons 3-8 people. I charge $80 for one on one personalized training and tournament prep!

"I started playing pickle with some friends of mine and decided quickly that I love it! I met Miles in a restaurant and he told me he was a coach so I decided to give him a try. I laughed and learned so much in such a short amount of time… his smile and sun tan keeps me coming back! I wonder if he is single… 😊
