MEET THE PICKLEBALL PRO

DOMINIC CATALANO

Dominic was introduced to Pickleball in his hometown of Chicago. While in Chicago he was a high school physical education teacher at Notre Dame College Prep.   He began playing pickleball and teaching Pickleball in his physical education classes.  In 2013 he moved to Naples, Florida, taking a job with local Parks and Recreation Department, where he started a Pickleball program with 15 people. When I left the that job in 2017, they had over 300 members at the park.

Dominic joined Boca Royale as its IPTPA certified Pickleball Pro.  He teaches clinics and private lessons at the club and is available for personal coaching.
