MEET YOUR COACHES
Two Coaches. One Mission. Your Breakthrough in Thousand Oaks.
TIMOTHY GOVENAR - Your PPR-Certified Strategy and Fundamentals Specialist
I’m a PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor, 4.0+ level tournament competitor, and teacher at Calabasas Pickleball Club — and I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping intermediate players build the strategic intelligence and repeatable mechanics that create real, lasting improvement on the court.
I came to pickleball through friends and a competitive racquetball background. From the very first session, I was captivated by the game’s unique blend of strategy, athleticism, and community. What began as a recreational outlet quickly became a deep commitment, I threw myself into organized play, competitive matches, and ongoing learning until I was competing at the 4.0+ level and earning multiple medals across singles and doubles events.
Teaching pickleball gave me the opportunity to work with players of all skill levels and backgrounds — which has sharpened my ability to communicate clearly, adapt instruction, and create environments where genuine improvement happens fast.
What I bring to your game:
- PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor — the official certification partner of USA Pickleball
- 4.0+ level tournament competitor — multiple medals across singles and doubles events
- Racquetball background — competitive racquet sport instincts and strategic thinking built in
- Known for structured, engaging, and tailored instruction — every session built around each player’s specific goals
- Deep emphasis on smart strategy, court awareness, and repeatable mechanics
- Patient, supportive, and detail-oriented coaching style
- Goal: helping players not just improve their skills, but develop lasting confidence and long-term enjoyment of the sport
My story: Pickleball found me through friends and my racquetball background, and from the moment I stepped onto a court, I recognized the depth this sport demands. I committed myself to developing my game through organized play, competitive matches, and continuous learning. Tournament experience sharpened my understanding of advanced strategy, shot selection under pressure, and how to adjust against a variety of playing styles. I became PPR certified because I believe professional coaching standards matter — and I brought everything I learned to the courts, where I’ve been teaching and watching players break through ever since.
My approach: I create lessons that are structured, engaging, and tailored to each player’s goals — whether that’s improving consistency, developing court awareness, or preparing for competitive play. I’m patient and detail-oriented, with a strong emphasis on smart strategy and repeatable mechanics. My goal is to help every intermediate player understand not just what to do, but why it works.
STACY TOBIN - Your Community Builder and Joy-First Game Changer
I’m a 4.0 tournament competitor, co-instructor, and the living proof that pickleball can completely transform your social world — because that’s exactly what it did to mine.
My husband Tim taught me pickleball on a trip to Hawaii in 2021. When I got home, I taught all of my friends. Before long, we were all completely hooked, playing at local parks, setting up our own nets, building a community around the game we loved.
What I bring to your game:
- 4.0 level competitive player — Silver Medalist three times in 4.0 tournaments in the past year
- Targeting 4.5 level — actively pushing her own game higher while coaching
- Co-instructor alongside Timothy in a shared teaching environment
- Known for infectious enthusiasm and a community-first coaching spirit
- Genuine belief that anyone can play on day one — and feel great as they start to master the skills
- Deep appreciation for the social dimension of pickleball — has built lasting friendships through the sport
My story: Tim taught me pickleball in Hawaii in 2021 and I immediately fell in love. I came home, taught my friends, and within months we were all obsessed. We started playing at local parks, setting up nets wherever we could find space, and building something special. Now I teach alongside Tim, and what I love most is watching people discover that same joy I felt on that first day in Hawaii. Anyone can play on day one. And when they start to master the skills and feel truly good on the court, that’s everything.
My approach: I love sharing this game with others. Pickleball is not only great for exercise — it’s a social sport that builds real friendships and genuine community. I want every player I coach to experience the joy of excelling on court. Seeing that moment when someone feels truly confident and successful — that’s why I show up.
Here's what makes our combined approach unstoppable:
Timothy brings the PPR certification, competitive tournament experience, and structured coaching methodology of a detail-oriented instructor who has helped players of all levels break through.
Stacy brings the warmth, community spirit, and genuine contagious enthusiasm of someone who built an entire pickleball community from scratch, and never lost sight of what makes this sport so special.
Together, we cover every dimension of your development. Timothy brings the structure. Stacy brings the heart. Between the two of us, you’re getting technically precise coaching delivered in an environment that makes improvement feel genuinely exciting — not just productive.
But here’s what we’re MOST focused on: Purposeful, improvement-driven drilling.
Not boring, repetitive drilling, but strategically designed drilling that mirrors what you’ll face in real match situations. The kind where you hit balls repeatedly with two experienced coaches watching and correcting every rep. The kind that creates those immediate “a-ha!” moments that show up in your very next game.
We don’t waste time talking. We drill. You improve. You feel it immediately.
On May 31st, we’re bringing this expertise and energy to intermediate players ready to break through in Thousand Oaks.

Why We're Obsessed With Drilling (And Why You Will Be Too)
Most intermediate camps spend too much time talking and not enough time executing.
We’re different.
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 third shot drops repeatedly while a PPR Certified coach and a 4.0 tournament competitor who have spent years teaching together watch and correct every rep.
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 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.
That’s why drilling is the heartbeat of our intermediate camps. Not because we 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.
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.
– Camp Attendee
Remember The Last Time You Walked Off The
Court Frustrated?
You know that moment when you replay the match in your head…
…thinking about all the shots you should have made?
…watching players you know you should beat walk away with the win?
…feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?
That feeling ends on May 31st.
Because by the time you walk off the court at 7:00 PM, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, your regular partners will immediately notice something has shifted.
IMAGINE THIS: It's Tuesday, June 2nd (Two Days After Camp)
You walk onto your regular pickleball court for your weekly game.
As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.
“What happened to you?”
Your serves are landing deep and consistent, no more shanks, no more pop-ups. When they return, you’re already reading where the ball is going. Your third shot drop is pulling them out of position. At the kitchen line, you’re controlling rallies with patience and precision they’ve never seen from you before.
By the third game, they’re asking what you did. By the fifth game, they’re asking where you learned it. By the time you leave, they’re asking if you can teach them.
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 Dominate Points Without Exhausting Yourself
We’ll teach you how to control rallies through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not power. You’ll start winning more points while using less energy.
Soon after camp, your opponents will work twice as hard for half the results. While they’re scrambling, you’ll be composed and ready for the next point. This is especially important for us 40+ players: you’ll learn to play smarter, not harder, which means you can play multiple times a week without wearing yourself out or risking injury.
You'll Meet Your New Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)
We’ll connect you with other passionate 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 through our community platform.
After camp, the group chat starts buzzing with game invites and practice sessions. By next month, you’ll have a regular crew of players who understand your goals, your schedule, and your commitment to improvement.
You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation
We’ll eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? Your body knows. When do you move to the kitchen? You’re already moving. How do you handle the lob? You’re executing before you finish thinking about it.
When you step into matches the following week, your opponents will watch you differently. They’ll see a player who moves with confidence and certainty — someone who’s always one step ahead.
You'll Stop Making The Same Mistakes That Have Been Holding You Back
We’ll help you identify the technical flaws that are currently limiting your game. When we show you exactly how to fix them — with Timothy’s PPR certification and structured coaching precision combined with Stacy’s competitive tournament experience — the shots that used to frustrate you suddenly become your strengths.
Most players spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single afternoon.
You'll Reignite The Passion You Had When You First Discovered This Game
We’ll show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave energized, excited, and already planning your next time on the court.
Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? When you couldn’t wait to play? If that feeling has been fading lately…
On May 31st, it comes roaring back.
Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally break through that plateau, that’s when the obsession returns.
