Atwater Elementary School

Bio: As a player for more than eight years, I enjoy teaching beginners for two local rec departments as well as through individual or small group lessons. I have a certificate in beginning instruction from PCI, am a referee and Ambassador for USA Pickleball, and the principal organizer for Metro Milwaukee Pickleball. I supply all the necessary equipment (nets, paddles, balls), so just bring a water bottle and excitement for learning the game. I promise you will quickly become addicted to a sport offering a lifetime of fun and fitness. All ages welcome, including adaptive needs -- we work at your pace. #PaddlesUp
