About Us

Hi there! My name is Cassie and I'm a 49-year-old woman who has struggled with my weight my entire life. I've also had to endure three knee surgeries over the years, which has made it difficult to find a physical activity that I enjoy and can participate in comfortably.

However, about a year ago, I discovered the wonderful world of pickleball. I was hesitant at first, given my knee issues, but I was determined to find a fun way to get active and hopefully shed some pounds in the process. And boy, did I ever fall in love with pickleball!

Not only is it a great workout, but it's also so much fun. I've met so many amazing people through playing pickleball and I always look forward to my next game. I even joined a local league and have competed in a few tournaments – something I never thought I'd be able to do.

Pickleball has truly changed my life for the better. I'm more active than I've ever been before, and I've even managed to lose a few pounds along the way. And best of all, my knee issues haven't been much of a problem thanks to the low-impact nature of the sport.

If you're someone who, like me, has struggled with weight and/or physical limitations, I highly recommend giving pickleball a try. It's a wonderful way to get active, have fun, and meet some amazing people along the way. Who knows – you might just fall in love with it like I did!

Hello, folks! I'm Brenton, a 34-year-old graphic design guru by day, pickleball enthusiast by night, and all-around art and sports lover. Born with a keen eye for design and a fierce backhand, my life has always been a colorful blend of creativity and athletics.

In my college days, I could be found acing serves on the tennis court, honing my skills and leading my team to victory. But life has a funny way of serving up surprises, and following a back injury, my tennis days came to a halt.

Yet, in the midst of adversity, pickleball emerged as my beacon of hope. The sport gave me a chance to continue my love for racquet games, and without the physical stress that tennis put on my body. I've traded the sound of a tennis ball's pop for the unique clink of a pickleball on a paddle, and honestly, I've never looked back.

Now, I'm not just creating beautiful designs and innovative visuals; I'm also mastering the art of the dink shot and the thrill of the slam in pickleball. My journey serves as a testament to the fact that no matter what curveballs life throws your way, there's always a way to adjust your swing. Let's connect on and off the court!

Hi there, I'm Peggy. A retired woman who has played tennis all my life. Tennis has been my passion since I was a child , and I've competed at various levels throughout my life. But now, I'm reluctantly taking up pickleball. I used to hate all you loud, wiffle ball battering pickleballers but I'm slowing coming around.

I've always been someone who takes care of their health by eating well and staying active. My lean build is a testament to my dedication to tennis, which has kept me in great shape over the years. Although I'm a bit hesitant about pickleball, I'm looking forward to trying something new and keeping up my fitness.

As someone who has been deeply involved in tennis for most of my life, it's hard to imagine playing anything else. However, I understand that pickleball has a growing following, and I'm willing to give it a try. Who knows, maybe I'll even come to enjoy it as much as I love tennis.

Hey there, I'm Mike. I'm a pickleball aficionado by day, pickleball dreamer by night, and honestly, the only thing I'm probably worse at than avoiding tripping over my own shoelaces is resisting the addictive allure of pickleball.

I hail from the picturesque landscapes of Denver, Colorado, where the pickleball scene is as vibrant as our city's sunsets. The game has changed my life in ways I never thought a sport could. You see, before I got hooked, my closest encounter with a racket was a fly swatter.

As far as my coaching credentials go, well, it's a classic underdog story. I was once the guy who couldn't tell a pickleball paddle from a pizza peel, and now I'm proudly sporting the title of Master Teaching Professional from the IPTPA. If that doesn't give hope to all my fellow klutzes, I don't know what will!

My love for pickleball goes far beyond the court. I run the In2Pickle YouTube channel, which is a blend of pickleball tactics, bloopers (mostly mine), and heartfelt stories from players whose lives have been touched by the sport. If you're more into listening than watching, you can catch me chatting about everything pickleball-related on my Pickleball Therapy podcast. And if that isn't enough, I've also penned a book titled "Play Pickleball", where I share everything from basic rules to advanced strategies, and of course, anecdotes of my own hilarious mishaps.

Hi there, I'm Mason Kelley. I'm in my thirties and a veterinary assistant by day, helping take care of your furry friends. But once the scrubs come off, you'll usually find me with a paddle in hand.

I played D3 college tennis, so I thought transitioning to pickleball would be a breeze. Boy, was I wrong! The game is similar but has its own unique challenges that I've been excited to tackle. I've been playing for a few months now, and I'm completely hooked.

What I love most about pickleball is the community. It's a mix of competitive spirit and camaraderie that I haven't found in any other sport. Whether it's a casual game or a more intense match, the atmosphere is always welcoming.

When I'm not assisting in surgeries or chasing after pickleballs, I enjoy hiking, reading up on animal behavior, and trying to perfect my pickleball serve. If you're up for a game or just want to chat about the latest in veterinary medicine or pickleball strategies, feel free to reach out. I'm all ears!

Hello, everyone! I'm Lleyton Howard, a 47-year-old pickleball coach who's absolutely enamored with this incredible sport. Before diving into the world of pickleball, I served as the head of a nonprofit organization focused on community development. That experience instilled in me a deep passion for helping others, a passion that I've carried over into my coaching.

I discovered pickleball a few years ago and was instantly hooked. The game itself is exhilarating, but what really drew me in was the sense of community and camaraderie that comes with it. I knew right away that I wanted to be more than just a player; I wanted to contribute to this amazing community in a meaningful way.

As a coach, my goal is to not only improve your game but also to foster a supportive and inclusive environment. I believe that pickleball is more than just a sport; it's a community where everyone should feel welcome, regardless of their skill level.

I'm a firm believer in the power of positivity and encouragement, both on and off the court. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an advanced player aiming to refine your skills, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

When I'm not coaching or playing pickleball, you'll likely find me volunteering at local community events or spending quality time with my family. If you're interested in improving your game or just want to talk about why pickleball is the best sport ever, feel free to reach out. I'm always up for a good conversation and a fun game!

Hey there, I'm Sebastian Devereux. I'm 52 years old, and while I've dabbled in various sports throughout my life, pickleball has become my unexpected passion. I've been playing for about a decade now and have somehow clawed my way up to a 4.0 skill level. Trust me, it's not as impressive as it sounds; I've had plenty of embarrassing whiffs and out-of-bounds serves to keep me grounded.

By day, I work in IT, troubleshooting network issues and deciphering error messages. But by evening, you'll find me on the pickleball court, trying to perfect that elusive spin serve or working on my still-not-quite-there drop shot.

I also contribute to a pickleball affiliate website, but let's be clear—I'm no journalist. I write articles sharing what I've learned, the mistakes I've made, and the gear I've tried. My aim is to help others navigate the learning curve a bit more smoothly than I did.

When I'm not behind a computer screen or holding a paddle, I love spending time with my family, hiking, and diving into a good science fiction novel. If you're ever up for a game or just want to chat about pickleball, feel free to reach out. I'm all ears and always looking to improve.

Hi there! I'm Sophia Martinez, but my friends and fellow pickleball enthusiasts usually call me Sophie. I'm a 28-year-old professional who absolutely adores pickleball—not just for the game itself but also for the incredible community it brings together.

By day, I work as an event coordinator, planning everything from corporate retreats to local festivals. It's a job that keeps me on my toes and allows me to flex my creative muscles. But once the workday is over, you'll most likely find me on the pickleball court.

I've been playing in local and regional tournaments for a few years now, and while I'm not going pro anytime soon, I've held my own in some pretty competitive matches. I also love traveling to watch professional pickleball games; there's something electrifying about seeing the best in the world go head-to-head.

What I cherish most about pickleball, though, is the social aspect. I've met some of my closest friends through this sport, and our post-game hangouts are just as important to me as the games themselves.

I like to think I bring a down-to-earth vibe to everything I do. I love a good laugh, intelligent conversation, and, of course, a spirited game of pickleball. So if you're up for a match or just want to chat about the latest pro tournament, hit me up. I'm always game!
