MEET YOUR COACH
Hi, I am Coach Drew McCall Burke
I’m a certified pickleball teaching professional with 30 years of overall coaching experience who’s dedicated my career to one mission: helping beginners discover their love for pickleball and build the right foundation from day one.
What makes me different? My unique coaching style focuses on making the learning process fun and enjoyable for my students. I strive to ensure that everyone who works with me takes away valuable insights to help them become better players.
Pickleball isn’t just about competition for me. It’s about the friendships that form, the partnerships that grow, and the confidence people build every time they step onto the court. There’s something incredibly special about being part of those moments — when hard work turns into happiness, and strangers turn into teammates and friends.
What I bring to your game:
- 5 years of dedicated pickleball experience
- 5 years of pickleball coaching expertise
- 30 years of overall coaching experience
- Former yoga, bootcamp, and tennis instructor
- Deep understanding of movement, flexibility, and athletic performance
My story? I got started playing at our local club, Litchfield Pickle, that opened up right as the coronavirus was ending. I fell in love with the game right away. From that first day on the court, I knew this sport was special…not just for the competition, but for the community, the friendships, and the pure joy it brings to people’s lives.
My approach: With 30 years of coaching experience across yoga, bootcamps, and tennis, I bring a unique perspective to pickleball instruction. I understand how adult bodies move, how minds learn, and how communities form around shared passion. I don’t just teach you shots…I help you build the friendships and partnerships that make every time on the court a competitive good time.
Whether you’ve never held a paddle or you’ve only played a few times, I have the expertise and experience to help you build a solid foundation in this exciting sport.
Here's what makes my approach unstoppable:
I bring three decades of coaching expertise combined with a genuine love for watching beginners achieve winning points and build lasting connections on the court.
But here’s what I’m MOST excited about: The drilling. Lots and lots of drilling.
Not boring, repetitive drilling—but beginner-friendly drilling designed to build confidence through repetition. The kind where you practice the same skill until it clicks, then celebrate that breakthrough moment together.
I don’t waste time talking. We drill. You improve. You feel it immediately.
On April 4th, I’m bringing this expertise to just a few lucky women in Mt. Pleasant.

Why I Am Obsessed With Drilling (And Why You Will Be Too)
Most camps spend too much time talking and not enough time doing.
We’re the opposite.
Here’s our philosophy: Drilling = Transformation
You don’t get better by listening to lectures about the third shot drop. You get better by hitting 20-30 third shot drops in a row while a coach watches and corrects you.
And here’s the truth about why we’re obsessed with drilling:
Because let’s be honest—we all love that moment when we implement something new and it actually WORKS, don’t we?
That moment when you adjust your paddle angle and suddenly your third shot lands exactly where you want it.
That rush when you hit 10 serves in a row to the same spot.
That feeling when your opponent fires a fast ball at you and you put it away cleanly.
You don’t have to wait weeks to see if the coaching worked. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.
Player Stories
See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.
Yeah. I’m Gene Justman out of, Denver, Colorado, and, good nuts and bolts program on, playing pickleball. I learned to get low.
I learned to hit the ball long and towards the back line. Great program.
– Gene Justman
Hi, I’m Debbie from Oklahoma. I really enjoyed today’s drill. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations. I got plenty of reps, learned many new aspects of the game, and added to my toolbox. It was a great experience.
– Debbie
Hi, I’m Linda. I’m from Iowa. I joined the camp today. It was great to touch on all different aspects. We’re able to drill enough that we got good at all the different aspects. So I’m ready to hit the courts.
– Linda
A super helpful tip today thatI know I can apply immediatelyand some really great drills that my wife, who’s my playing partner, and I can can put to use this week as well. It was a great clinic.
– Camp Attendee
Hi. I just finished an Obsessed
Pickleballers clinic, and I would
recommend it to anyone who wants to get better. Mark has a great way of explaining things, and he teaches in a way that anyone can get better in the four hour session.

REMEMBER FEELING INTIMIDATED WATCHING PICKLEBALL PLAYERS?
You know that moment when you see people playing pickleball and think…
…”I could never do that”?
…”I’m not athletic enough”?
…”Everyone else already knows how to play”?
That feeling ends on April 4th.
Because by the time you walk off the court, you’ll be playing actual pickleball games. You’ll understand the rules. You’ll know how to keep score. And you’ll have a clear path to becoming the player you’ve been watching from the sidelines.
Imagine This: It's Tuesday, April 7th (Three Days After Camp)
You’re at your local park 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 goes in. You move to the kitchen. You dink the ball back and forth. You’re actually playing pickleball—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 Know How to Play Pickleball
I’ll teach you every fundamental skill you need to step onto any court and play. You won’t just understand the theory—you’ll have actually done it, repeatedly, with patient coaching from a professional player.
By the end of camp, you’ll be able to serve, return, dink, volley, keep score, and play actual games. You’ll understand the rules. You’ll know the etiquette. You’ll be a real pickleball player.
You'll Meet Your New Pickleball Family
I’ll connect you with other beginners 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 fellow beginners 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 and improve.
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 beginner to intermediate to advanced.
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 for you?
On April 4th, that question gets answered.
Because when you experience what it feels like actually to play—when you’re laughing, competing, and connecting with new friends—that’s when you catch the pickleball bug.
