I started playing tennis at the age of 6. Also played various other racquet and paddle sports such as badminton, table tennis, racquetball, and other games we invented with a paddle and a ball growing up as the last sibling of 10 children in a very sports focused household. Pickleball incorporates all of those skill sets I learned to instruct players of all levels to improve and enhance their games. Have been playing the sport for 4 years and have advanced skill level.
