I started playing pickleball in 2014 and have been relatively successful in local tournament play events. Due to my early experience, I started the pickleball program at my local tennis club in Scripps Ranch as it increased from 2 to 4 to 8 pickleball courts. From there, with the help of the tennis pro, we started with large groups (30 -40 players) for pickleball training sessions about 4 years ago until interrupted by theoll covid pandemic. We were able to recently start training again in 2023 with our current expanded player base.
