Meet Coach Toni Roby – Your Guide To Playing Smarter
I’m a nine-year US Open competitor with a 15-year coaching career. I was introduced to pickleball in 2008 as a fun activity to try with friends but what I didn’t expect was how quickly I’d fall in love with the game.
It wasn’t just the competition that hooked me, it was the people, the friendships, and the incredible community that comes with it.
And so, I dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping seniors at the advanced beginner level build the solid foundation, confidence, and court awareness that creates a clear, direct path to 3.0 and beyond.
My credentials:
- PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor
- Virginia Pickleball Classic medalist
- Charlottesville Cup competitor – active in the Central Virginia regional tournament circuit
- Recognized by Central Virginia Pickleball Club (CEVA) – featured regional athlete and community contributor
My approach: I focus on building strong fundamentals while creating a fun, competitive, and encouraging environment.
I believe that every player at the 2.5-3.0 level already has more than they think, my job is to help them see it, build on it, and use it to push confidently toward 3.0.
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 SMART DRILLING WORKS SO WELL FOR SENIORS
Most advanced beginner sessions overwhelm players with too much too fast.
I’m different.
Here’s my philosophy: Purposeful Drilling = Lasting Improvement
You don’t get better by doing more. You get better by doing the right things, correctly, at a pace that works for your body, with a coach who has spent 15+ years developing athletes and knows exactly what creates improvement for senior players without burning them out.
And here’s what I’ve seen time and time again coaching seniors:
That moment when your dink lands softly in the kitchen – every time.
That quiet satisfaction when your serve goes in – deep and consistent.
That feeling of rallying back and forth with real control – not scrambling, not guessing. Just playing.
You don’t need to work harder to feel that improvement. You need to work smarter. Right there on the court. Every session.
That’s why purposeful, paced drilling is at the heart of everything I do with this group.
Player Stories
See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.
HAVE YOU EVER WALKED OFF THE COURT WISHING YOU HAD PLAYED A LITTLE SMARTER?
You know that feeling when you replay the match in your head…
…thinking about the shots that got away from you?
…noticing that you were working harder than you needed to?
…sensing that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?
That changes on July 23.
Because by the time you walk off the court, something will have shifted. Your positioning will feel more natural. Your decisions will come more easily. And the next time you play, the game will feel just a little more under your control.
IMAGINE THIS: It's Saturday, July 25 (Two Days After Camp)
You walk onto your regular court for your weekly game.
As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners look over.
“Something’s different about you today.”
Your serves are landing deep and consistent. When they return, you’re already in position. At the kitchen line, you’re patient, controlled, and comfortable in a way that wasn’t there before.
By the end of the session, they’re asking what you did. By the time you leave, they’re asking if you’ll share where you learned it.
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.
What You'll Actually Walk Away With (The Real Outcomes)
You'll Win More Points Without Working Harder
I’ll teach you how to control rallies through smart positioning and shot selection, not effort and power. You’ll start winning more points while using less energy. Playing smarter, not harder means you can play multiple times a week and still feel good afterward.
You'll Meet Your New Playing Friends (And Stay Connected)
I’ll connect you with other players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay connected with everyone you meet.
You'll Know What To Do In Every Situation
I’ll help you eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? You’ll know. When do you move to the kitchen? You’ll feel it. How do you handle the lob? You’ll be ready before it even lands.
You'll Address the Habits That Have Been Holding You Back
I’ll help you identify the technical patterns that are currently limiting your game. When I show you how to adjust them, through purposeful drilling with clear, patient feedback, the shots that used to frustrate you will start to feel natural.
Most players carry the same habits for years. A single good session can change that.
You'll Leave Feeling Energized About This Game
I’ll remind you just how enjoyable pickleball can be when it feels effortless. You’ll leave feeling good, physically and mentally, and already looking forward to your next time on the court.
On July 23rd, the love for the game gets refreshed.
Because when pickleball feels easy, flowing, and fun, that’s when you truly fall in love with it all over again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this camp for?
This camp is designed specifically for seniors at the 2.5-3.0 level. The drills, strategy lessons, and coaching are all calibrated for players who are comfortable with the basics and ready to build a real foundation toward 3.0.
I don't have a DUPR rating. Would I be eligible?
Absolutely. You don’t need a DUPR rating. The 2.5-3.0 range simply helps you understand the level this session is designed for. If you consider yourself an advanced beginner ready to build confidence and get to the next level, you’re in the right place.
I'm closer to 2.5 than 3.0. Will I be able to keep up?
Yes. With 15 years of professional coaching experience and a structured, player-first approach, I know exactly how to meet every player where they are and build from there. You’ll be challenged appropriately and never overwhelmed.
What should I bring?
Just bring your paddle, court shoes, athletic wear, water, some snacks, and a towel.
Will I get individual attention?
Definitely. With a maximum of 8 players, you’ll receive plenty of personalized feedback throughout the session. My structured coaching background means I pay close attention to each player’s specific patterns and make real-time adjustments that create visible improvement within the session itself.
I'm worried about keeping up physically. Will the pace be manageable?
Yes – and this is something I take very seriously. The session is thoughtfully paced from start to finish. We warm up properly, we don’t rush through drills, and we finish with a proper cool-down. Every player in this session is a senior, and I coach with that in mind.
When do I get the bonuses?
Immediately upon registration:
- Perfect Guide eBook (instant download)
- Community access (login credentials sent to your email)

I've done camps before and didn't improve much. Why will this be different?
Because this session is built specifically for where you are right now – a senior player at the 2.5-3.0 level ready to build a real foundation. As a 15-year coaching veteran, I bring a patient, purposeful approach that creates real, visible improvement within the session itself. Every drill has a clear purpose. Every correction is delivered with care and clarity. And you walk away with lifetime community access and ongoing support.
