Hi, I am Coach Toni Roby – Your Guide To The Next Level

I’m a PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor, nine-year US Open competitor, JOOLA Virginia Pickleball Classic medalist, with a 15-year coaching career, and I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond at the advanced beginner level build the solid foundation, confidence, and court awareness that creates a clear, direct path to 3.0 and beyond.

I was introduced to pickleball in 2008 as a fun activity to try with friends. 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.

I started competing in 2010 and haven’t looked back since. Today, I still love learning, competing, and helping other players discover what makes this sport so special.

OTHER CREDENTIALS:

Charlottesville Cup competitor — active in the Central Virginia regional tournament circuit

Recognized by Central Virginia Pickleball Club (CEVA) — newsletter featured regional athlete and community contributor

Active tournament competitor since 2010 — over 15 years of competitive experience informing every coaching decision

Offering lessons and clinics across Waynesboro, Staunton, and Charlottesville, VA

Community organizer — coordinates open plays and skill-building sessions across the Central Virginia pickleball network

My story: What drives me as a coach isn’t the medals, it’s the same thing that drove me through 15 years of coaching: watching people grow in their game. Whether it was an athlete mastering a new skill, or a pickleball player finally landing that third shot drop, that moment of breakthrough is what I live for.

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.

I bring the same passion, enthusiasm, and structured approach to pickleball that I developed over 15 years of coaching and educational leadership. 

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 I'M 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 repeatedly, with correct form, with a coach watching every rep, and building the kind of muscle memory that holds up in real games.

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 women love learning from Toni.

REMEMBER FEELING LIKE YOU WERE STUCK AT THE SAME LEVEL?

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 June 25th.

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 Saturday, June 27th (Two Days After Camp)

You’re at your local pickleball 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 a competitive tournament player who knows exactly what great technique looks like at every level.

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

I’ll connect you with other passionate women 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 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 unsure if you’d be able to play pickleball with the confidence others play it with?

On June 25th, 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.
