Welcome to my website! I’m Coach Dave Mancuso, an IPTPA-certified instructor (Levels I, II, and Juniors) with a lifelong passion for coaching and over 30 years of experience in various sports. Cornelius, NC, is home, and you’ll often find me on the local pickleball courts. As the former president of the Lake Norman Pickleball Association, I’ve worked to grow our pickleball community, expand court access, and foster connections through open play. I specialize in helping beginner to intermediate players build a strong foundation—both in technique and understanding the mental side of the game. Whether you’re interested in private lessons, small group sessions, or clinics, I offer personalized options to fit your needs. Check out the Clinics/Lessons tab above for more details. I’m thrilled to be a part of your pickleball journey and can’t wait to help you take your game to the next level!
