Are you ready to learn how to play pickleball? Take your pickleball game to the next level? Host an epic pickleball corporate party or team-building event? Look no further, as I am here to guide you through an exhilarating journey on the court. With an impressive record of 13 tournament victories under my belt in events up to the 5.0 level, I am thrilled to offer you the opportunity to join my highly sought-after pickleball corporate events, clinics, and private lessons! Pickleball, the fastest-growing sport in the country, has captivated players of all ages and skill levels. As a certified instructor and tournament player, I have experienced the thrill of competition firsthand and developed a profound understanding of the game's intricacies. With my proven expertise and strategic insight, I am eager to help you unlock your full potential and elevate your pickleball skills to new heights! Oh and about the nickname "Danimal," it's a funny story really. About 2 months after I first started playing pickleball, I entered a tournament and had to register with the USAPA (USA Pickleball Association). On the registration form, they ask you for a nickname, which I entered "Danimal" thinking no one would ever see it. Sure enough, during my first tournament, when being called over the loudspeakers for my matches, the announcer yelled Danimal rather than my first or last name. I was embarrassed and couldn't believe it. However, while walking to the courts, everyone high-fived me and told me they loved the nickname. That weekend, I won a gold medal in Men's Singles, Mixed Doubles, and Men's Doubles completing a Triple Crown in my first tournament. Lo and behold, the nickname has stuck and is now forever
"Our corporate team had an incredible experience with Pickleball Playmakers this evening! From start to finish, everything went flawlessly. Danβs ability to engage the entire group, regardless of our skill level or experience, was truly impressive. He made the booking process a breeze and was exceptionally accommodating to our needs. We couldnβt have asked for a better event, and weβre already looking forward to working with them again in the future!

An energetic certified PPR Pickleball coach & player β Beginners β Intermediate. Teach new and developing players reliable technique, court strategy, and confident shot-making in a fun, low-pressure environment. Focus: fundamentals (serve/return, dinking, third-shot drop), movement, partner play and smart tactics. All ages welcome. Group, private, and semi-private lessons. Coaching philosophy: Progress is fastest when lessons are small, measurable, and immediately useful in game situations. I teach with clear cues, video when helpful, and lots of short, focused reps that build muscle memory without boring you.

Promptly after booking with me, you'll receive my welcome message and question: "Looking forward to your lesson. When you have a chance please let me know, in 2-3 sentences, about your pickleball, racquet sports, and/or other sports experience, and what you hope to learn/improve in your lesson(s)." Student responses help me to get right into and make the most of our time during their lesson. Then, based on my ongoing assessment during the lesson, I will customize the lessons to the student's level and learning style. My teaching style utilizes evidenced based skill acquisition approaches so students learn and retain task/goal oriented pickleball skills more naturally. Every shot in pickleball can be accomplished using a variety of techniques and no technique is "the right correct way." I can teach you the slice, top, push and lift dink, the overhead extreme angle put away, drive and drop and roll and flick volleys. How about the slice, top or lob serve. And, I can teach you how to hit deceptive shots too. I'm considered a power player with excellent finesse paddle skills. I can play right and left handed, hit dinks and half volleys between my legs and behind my back. If you want to pursue mastering pickleball and playing top level, even professional level, I'll get you to the highest level you aspire to the fastest!

I provide balls, and if needed, have paddles to borrow too. Bring your paddle if you have one, water, small towel, and wear light comfortable active wear plus non-marking court shoes that have good lateral support.

The only things you need to bring are a good pair of shoes (tennis or pickleball shoes are ideal) and some water. I can provide anything else we need!
