MoCo Pickleball offers private instruction, clinics, ladder leagues, and regulation court lining services in Montgomery County, Maryland, and throughout the wider DMV area based on availability.


Since its founding in 2017, MoCo Pickleball has proudly supported and helped grow the Maryland pickleball community. Under the leadership of USAP Ambassadors Emer Daly and Rob Campbell, we have built a unique ecosystem dedicated to introducing new players to the sport while supporting experienced players through training programs, clinics, personalized instruction, ladder leagues, and more.
In the early days of pickleball in Montgomery County, when public courts were limited, MoCo Pickleball was at the forefront of advocating for the sport. We successfully worked with county officials and the City of Rockville to expand court access and help grow local recreational pickleball programs.
Over the years, we have trained thousands of players and continue to proudly support the needs of our ever-growing pickleball community.

Learn more"Emer is a great coach with a fun and patient demeanor. I enrolled in her beginner pickleball class and then progressed to her Intermediate Skills and Drills classes. Within a few months, I joined her MoCo Pickleball spring ladder league to meet similarly skilled players, and I've seen huge improvement in my game in a short period."
"When I started with Emer last year, I was at absolute ground zero. Her classes through MoCo and her private lessons became my go-to strategy whenever I felt my progress stalling. She stands out because she doesn't just spot your mistakes—she actually shows you the mechanics of how to fix them. Participating in her coed and women's leagues this year has been an amazing experience, a great way to connect with the local pickleball community, and an absolute ton of fun. Thank you Emer!"
"Early in my pickleball journey, I was truly fortunate to meet Emer and learn from her. From my very first clinic with her in fall 2020, I knew I had found an exceptional coach. Since then I've taken many more clinics and private lessons and each one has helped me grow not only in my skills, tournament preparation and strategy, but also in my confidence as a player. Her guidance has been incredibly valuable, and what makes it even more special is how much fun I have learning from her. I am genuinely grateful our paths have crossed."
"I had been playing pickleball regularly for about 1½ years when I took my first lesson with Emer. We went over many basics, many of which I realized I did not know. She also showed me a drill I could do on my own to improve my net game. That drill turned out to be transformational for me. I was almost immediately both more competitive and comfortable at the net. In each lesson I take with Emer now, we talk about strategy and work on weaknesses in my game. One thing I really like about Emer as a coach is her skill in fixing swing mechanics, which I think is difficult to master alone, regardless of how many pickleball videos you watch on YouTube. I think Emer is a terrific coach!"
