Private and Group Pickleball Lessons & Clinics in the Seattle Area
At Smash Pickleball we love the sport of Pickleball and are here to support you in your pickleball journey! My name is Mary Ann Benack and I am the head coach and owner of Smash Pickleball. I am a full-time, PPR certified pickleball instructor and high-level tournament player (4-time medalist at the US Pickleball National Championships). In addition, I play for the Indy Drivers in the National Pickleball League which represents the top Sr. Pros in the US.
I typically work with students who are seeking a long-term coaching partnership to achieve their big, bold goals. The majority of my students are seeking to increase their pickleball rating and excel in tournaments. They are focused on improving stroke mechanics, learning new shots, advancing their doubles strategy, and more. During each lesson we can focus on specific skills or do instructional play. I enjoy working with individuals, teams, or private groups of 4 players. I love developing deep connections with my clients to help them achieve their pickleball dreams!
I conduct all lessons at my private indoor Smash Pickleball facility in Kent, WA. I am heavily booked up with recurring clients. But if you are a hard worker who is interested in a long-term coaching partnership, I do typically have one-off dates available.

Here is what people have to say...
"Mary Ann provides an accurate assessment of my pickleball skills, efficient and appropriate corrections and endless support. She's elevated my game to a new level...a silver medal at Nationals." - Lynn
"As a newer pickleball player, it has been a great experience working with MaryAnn during the past year. Her knowledge, organization and sense of humor keep learning focused but fun. Her lessons build on strengths and work toward correction of weaknesses. MaryAnn's passion for pickleball is evident, and the enjoyment of sharing this with others makes the experience even more fun for those of us who are working with her!
I would highly recommend MaryAnn and Smash Pickleball to anyone anxious to learn this this sport." - Margaret
