I'm Coach Sarah J. 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 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. 

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 improving their game.

My Philosophy

Why I'm Obsessed
With Drilling

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 The Last Time You Walked Off The Court Frustrated?

You know that moment when you replay the session in your head…

…thinking about the ball you popped up when you should have dipped it into the kitchen?

…watching women at your level play with a consistency and confidence you haven’t quite found yet?

…feeling like you’ve been at this stage for a while now, and wondering what it’s actually going to take to get unstuck?

That feeling ends on August 16th.

Because by the time you walk off the court, something fundamental will have changed. Your reads will be faster. Your fundamentals will feel automatic. And the next time you play, the women you always play with will immediately notice something has shifted.

IMAGINE THIS: It's Tuesday, August 18th (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 and 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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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

I’ll show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave energized, confident, and already looking forward to your next time on the court.

Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? How it made you feel? If that feeling has been fading lately, you deserve to have it back.

On August 16th, you will. 

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this camp for?

This camp is designed specifically for advanced beginner players at the 2.5-3.0 level. If you’ve been playing for a while, understand the basics, and are ready to make a real push toward 3.0, this camp is built for you.

Absolutely! You don’t need a DUPR rating. The 2.5-3.0 range simply helps you understand who this camp is designed for. If you consider yourself an advanced beginner who’s comfortable with the fundamentals and ready to improve, you’re in exactly the right place.

Yes. This is a women’s-only camp by design. Every drill partner, every conversation, and every connection you make here will be with women who are on the same journey. That environment matters, and it makes the day better.

Yes! My entire coaching approach is built around meeting every player exactly where they are, and making sure they feel supported and capable every step of the way. I focus as much on building confidence as I do on building technique, which means no player ever feels lost or left behind.

Just bring your paddle, court shoes, athletic wear, protective eyewear (optional), water, some snacks, and a towel.

Definitely. With a maximum of 8 students, you’ll receive plenty of personalized feedback throughout the camp. I pay close attention to each player’s specific patterns, and I make a point of highlighting what each player is doing well, not just what needs fixing. That’s how real confidence gets built.
