MEET YOUR COACH
Hi, I am Coach Paul Pasquarosa – Your Guide To Building The Right Foundation
I’m an IPTPA Certified Pickleball Instructor with an incredible 55 years of overall coaching experience who’s dedicated my career to one mission: helping players at every level discover their love for this sport and build the right foundation, especially players in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
At 74, I’m living proof that age is just a number when you play smart. And as a Seniors State Champion in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island, I know exactly what it takes to build a game that wins, from the very first day you pick up a paddle.
What I bring to your game:
- Seniors State Champion — Massachusetts & Rhode Island
- IPTPA Certified Instructor
- 55 years of overall coaching experience — started coaching at age 19
- 5 years of dedicated pickleball experience
- 4 years of pickleball coaching experience
- Multiple medals in local tournaments
- Former coach in football, basketball, and baseball
- Deep understanding of how adult athletes learn and improve at every age
My story: A lifelong friend suggested I check out this new and upcoming sport. I did, got hooked, and here I am. What I enjoy most about teaching is the social aspect, the exercise, and the competitiveness. After 55 years of coaching across multiple sports, I’ve learned one thing above all else: when the process is fun and the instruction is clear, people improve faster than they ever thought possible.
My approach: My coaching philosophy is simple and effective: (1) Have fun, (2) Keep it simple, (3) Keep the ball in play, (4) Get to the NVZ line, (5) Neutralize your opponent’s strength, (6) Be patient, (7) Forget about it. This straightforward approach comes from 55 years of coaching experience across multiple sports, I know what works, and I know how to make it stick.
Here's what makes my approach unstoppable:
I bring over 55 years of coaching mastery combined with proven state championship success in pickleball—and a philosophy built entirely around making improvement feel natural, achievable, and fun.
But here’s what I’m MOST focused on: Beginner-friendly drilling that builds real confidence.
Not overwhelming drilling… but patient, purposeful drilling where you practice the same skill until it clicks. The kind where you hit balls repeatedly with a coach watching and correcting every rep. The kind that builds proper technique and muscle memory from day one so you start your journey the right way.
I don’t waste time talking. We drill. You improve. You feel it immediately.
On May 9th, I’m bringing this expertise to advanced beginners ready to take the next step in Boston.

Why We Are Obsessed With BEGINNER-FRIENDLY DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)
Most advanced beginner camps overwhelm you with too much information.
I’m different.
Here’s my philosophy: Repetition = Confidence
You don’t learn pickleball by watching demonstrations. You learn by actually doing it—over and over and over, with a patient coach guiding you every step of the way.
And here’s the truth about why I’m obsessed with beginner-friendly drilling:
Because let’s be honest—we all love that moment when we try something new and it actually WORKS, don’t we?
That moment when your dink lands exactly where you aimed it.
That rush when your serve goes in consistently.
That feeling when you rally back and forth without missing.
You don’t have to wait weeks to see progress. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.
That’s why drilling is the heartbeat of my advanced beginner camps. Not because I think it’s good for you (though it is), but because it’s incredibly satisfying to watch yourself go from “I keep making that mistake” to “I just fixed it!” in a single afternoon.
Player Stories
See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.
Four hours well spent! Seres learned to slow down, be patient, and play with soft hands instead of just strength — mixing up returns in a smarter way. Mark picked up a brand new drop serve he’d never tried before and is already planning to mix it into his game. The drills were excellent, the instructor was fantastic, and we’d both say it’s absolutely worth the time and money — we’d recommend it without hesitation!
– Camp Attendee
“Four hours done and I’m heading straight back out to play — that’s how good it was! I’d give the afternoon session a solid ten out of ten, no question. There were so many great takeaways, but the five virtues — especially patience — really stuck with me and is something I know I’ll carry into my game. I’d recommend this program to absolutely everyone, it was fun, it was great, and completely worth it!”
– Camp Attendee
We drove all the way from Twin Mountain, New Hampshire to Boston Pickle in Hyde Park, and it was absolutely worth the trip! Four hours of great drills, nice people, and so much to learn. The biggest thing for me was learning to slow the ball down and really focusing on the serve — it’s so important and the constant drilling is what really makes it click. We’d both recommend this program to anyone without hesitation — and yes, we mean it, camera or not!
REMEMBER FEELING INTIMIDATED WATCHING PICKLEBALL PLAYERS?
You know that moment when you see people playing pickleball and think…
…”I can’t reach that level“?
…”I’m not athletic enough“?
…”Everyone else can rally better than me“?
That feeling ends on May 9th.
Because by the time you walk off the court at 4:00 PM, you’ll be playing pickleball at a higher level. You’ll understand the rules better. You’ll know how to position yourself. And you’ll have a clear path to becoming the player you’ve been watching from the sidelines.
IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, May 11th (Two Days After Camp)
You’re at your local Boston court and you see a group playing pickleball.
But this time, instead of watching from the sidelines, you walk up confidently.
“Mind if I join?”
They welcome you in. You step onto the court. You call out the score correctly. Your serves go in consistently. Your positioning is already better. You dink the ball back and forth. You’re playing pickleball better than you thought you would—and holding your own.
By the end of the games, they’re asking if you want to join their regular group. They’re exchanging phone numbers. You’re already part of the community.
That’s the difference between who you are right now and who you’ll be after the camp.
And it all starts the moment you register—because the transformation begins before you even arrive.
What You'll Actually Walk Away With (The Real Outcomes)
You'll Actually Immerse Yourself in Pickleball
I’ll teach you every fundamental skill you need to step onto any court and play better. You won’t just understand the theory, you’ll have actually done it, repeatedly, with patient coaching from an IPTPA Certified instructor with 55 years of coaching experience.
By the end of camp, you’ll be able to do all of these things better: serve, return, dink, volley, keep score, and rally. You’ll understand the rules better. You’ll know the etiquette with more nuance. You’ll be a real pickleball player.
You'll Meet Your New Boston Pickleball Family
I’ll connect you with other advanced beginner players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with everyone you meet.
No one gets left behind. Whether you’re naturally social or more reserved, you’ll be welcomed and seamlessly connected with the entire group through our community platform.
After camp, the group chat starts buzzing with practice invites. By next month, you’ll have a regular crew of players who understand your journey—no more feeling intimidated or alone.
You'll Have Confidence to Play Anywhere
I’ll eliminate the fear that’s been keeping you on the sidelines. Not sure about the rules? You’ll know them. Worried about looking foolish? You’ll have practiced hundreds of shots. Intimidated by the scoring? You’ll be calling it out confidently.
When you step onto courts the following week, you’ll walk on with your head held high. You’re not a beginner hoping to fake it—you’re a trained player ready to learn, improve, and get to the next level.
You'll Understand Your Path to 3.0 and Beyond
I’ll show you exactly what to practice and how to improve. You won’t be wandering aimlessly—you’ll have a clear roadmap from advanced beginner to intermediate and beyond.
Most beginners spend months or years developing bad habits. You’ll learn the right way from day one, setting yourself up for rapid improvement.
You'll Fall in Love with This Amazing Sport
I’ll show you why millions of people are obsessed with pickleball. You’ll leave energized, excited, and already planning your next time on the court.
Remember feeling curious about pickleball but unsure if it was really for you?
On May 9th, that question gets answered.
Because when you experience what it feels like to actually maintain a rally—when you’re laughing, competing, and connecting with new friends… that’s when you catch the pickleball bug.
