NSW State Team Coach / Selector (2023-2024), NSW State Pickleball Team member (2022) and Queensland State Championships & Sydney Doubles medallist. I am a self-confessed Pickleball addict, an internationally Certified Pickleball Instructor with Pickleball Coaching International (PCI Level 1 & 2) and have a passionate multi-sports coaching background in squash, triathlon and skiing. Based on the Northern Beaches, Sydney, I am a recipient of the PSA ‘Educator of the Year’ award, have a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, with a special interest in sports psychology and in 2018 was presented with the NSW Community Service Award (for being a goodie-two-shoes advocate for heart health). While my Pickleball coaching style is fun, and teaching approach, I like to think engaging and insightful, my daughter Sierra thinks my Pickleball obsession is a serious untreatable clinical condition. PLEASE NOTE: These fees are for Avalon outdoor coaching. There is an additional cost for indoor coaching at indoor court hire at Beacon Hill POA.
