Meet the Coaches

Dave Olney
Coach

Dave was brought up playing tennis and volleyball, always enjoying net sports. He was introduced to pickleball in spring 2017 by some local, returning snowbirds and was instantly hooked! Winter 2022 Dave began assisting Ted with both beginner and skills+drills classes, and looks forward to helping players improve at PB603.

Margo and Steve Spaziani
Coaches

Margo and Steve met playing racquetball; Steve played for over 35 years, Margo played for about 15. They partnered together and were NH State Racquetball Champions in 2017. During Covid, when the gym shut down temporarily, they tried out pickleball and were hooked! They love being outside and being able to travel and play wherever they go, just by bringing our sneakers and paddles! They loved pickleball so much that they got married on a pickleball court in 2021! To bring their love of the sport to others they now teach pickleball and received their national certification through PPR in 2023.

Chris Chiang
Coach

With a lifelong background in competitive tennis—including Division I play at the University of Miami, top USTA rankings in New England, and over 20 years of coaching—I bring both passion and proven experience to pickleball. My coaching career has spanned many of the area’s top racquet clubs, as well as collegiate and USTA teams, giving me a wide range of insight into player development.

Now a PPR-certified pickleball coach and active 4.5+ competitor, I focus on blending solid fundamentals with smart strategy, while keeping lessons fun and engaging. From court positioning and stroke production to adding spin, anticipation, and net play tactics, I help players of all levels build confidence, sharpen their skills, and elevate their game
