Otto Marracello

I am a recently retired New York State physical education teacher and coach, with 33 years experience. Currently, I am looking to utilize my knowledge and skills in pickleball and my expertise in motivating and instructing athletes, to help pickleball players of all ages, have a fun and safe experience. I have taught all ages and abilities, and I am confident, I can teach and challenge all players from beginner to advanced, to reach their fullest potential.

In 2001, I began teaching pickleball in both high school and Adult Education, when it wasn’t popular and very few people heard of the sport. I’m excited with how much popularity it has gained. Having coached both high school men’s and women’s tennis, I have a vast experience of drills and training for the single or doubles player. I am eager to use my passion, experience and energy to excite all players from the beginner, through advanced!
