Meet Coach Sarah Caliento – Your Guide To Building The Right Pickleball Foundation

I’ve been coaching pickleball for over 6 years as an IPTPA Certified Coach and have spent years helping grow the pickleball community throughout the Greater Boston area. If there’s one thing that drives me as a coach, it’s helping you see what’s possible in your own game.

I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping advanced beginner women players build the solid foundation, confidence, and court awareness that creates a clear, direct path to 3.0 and beyond, especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

MY CREDENTIALS:

IPTPA Certified Coach — with 6+ years coaching players to the next level

2024 & 2025 Tournament Director — Girls Inc. of Boston and Lynn

2026 Tournament Director — Metro North YMCA

Deep roots in the Greater Boston/North Shore pickleball community

USA Pickleball Ambassador — officially named city ambassador for Lynn, MA

1st Place — Women's Doubles Division, Metro North Tournament

2024 & 2025 Tournament Director — Boo Tournament, Lynn Parks & Recreation

Known for a confidence-first, positivity-forward coaching approach

My story: My pickleball story starts on the side of the road. I was driving home from work one day when I noticed a group of adults playing in a park. I stopped to ask about the game, they invited me to try it, and I fell in love immediately. Then I started joining groups across the area, met a USA Pickleball Ambassador who became a mentor and friend, and before long I was named my city’s Pickleball Ambassador and had earned my coaching certification.

Since then I’ve directed multiple tournaments. And I’ve been coaching players across the Greater Boston area who come in uncertain and leave empowered, because that transformation is what I live for.

My approach: What I enjoy most about teaching is instilling confidence in my students. I focus on their progress, shift negative self-talk into empowering thoughts, and offer positive, constructive feedback that highlights improvements and builds momentum. 

I’ve found that when players feel genuinely supported, when they start to believe in their own capabilities, their game transforms faster than any drill alone could achieve. 

Whether you want to improve your fitness, develop your skills, compete in tournaments, improve your DUPR, or simply have more fun on the court… I’ll help you play with confidence and consistency while preventing injuries.

Players who train with me experience complete game transformations.

They win through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not exhausting power.

They understand the mental game

They play multiple times a week with energy

They build lasting friendships while leveling up their game.

WHY WE'RE OBSESSED WITH DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)

Most advanced beginner camps overwhelm you with too much too fast.

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 with an IPTPA certified coach watching and correcting every rep.

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 softly in the kitchen, every time.

That rush when your serve goes in deep and consistent.

That feeling when you rally back and forth with real control.

You don’t have to wait weeks to see progress. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.

That’s why purposeful 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 someone go from “I can’t do this” to “I just did that!” in a single afternoon.

Player Stories

See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.

REMEMBER FEELING LIKE YOU WERE STUCK AT THE SAME LEVEL?

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 June 27th.

Because by the time you walk off the court at 5:30 PM, you’ll know exactly what you need to do to get to 3.0 and beyond. You’ll have drilled the right fundamentals the right way. And you’ll have a coach, a community, and a clear roadmap to get there.

IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, June 29th (Two Days After Camp)

You’re at your local pickleball court and you see a group of women 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 serve 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 a 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 Have the Fundamentals That Take You to 3.0 & Beyond

I’ll teach you the specific skills, serving, returning, dinking, volleying, positioning, that define the 3.0 player. Not just the theory. The actual reps, the correct form, the muscle memory that holds up in real games. This is especially important for us 50+ women pickleballers: the right habits from day one mean you can improve without risking injury.

You'll Meet Your New Women's Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)

I’ll connect you with other passionate women players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with everyone you meet.

You'll Stop Guessing and Start Knowing

I’ll eliminate the uncertainty that’s been holding you back. Should you dink or drive? You’ll know. When do you move to the kitchen? You’re already moving. How do you handle the fast ball? You’re ready.

You'll Build the Habits That Hold Up Under Pressure

I’ll help you see the progress you’ve already made that you’ve been too hard on yourself to notice. When confidence and technical correction work together, the shots that used to frustrate you suddenly become your strengths. Most players carry the same habits for years. You’ll correct yours in a single afternoon.

You'll Fall in Love with This Game All Over Again

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 June 27th, that question gets answered.

Because when your fundamentals are right and your confidence is real, that’s when pickleball becomes everything it promised to be.
