Ellen is a PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor. She is both a 4.0 Pickleball player and a 4.0 Tennis Player. After playing tennis for 20 years, she decided to try her hand at Pickle, and 8 years later, she is addicted! Ellen won her First All State championship, and had so much fun meeting other players throughout the state. She thrives at introducing players to the game, so they can become as addicted as she. Ellen loves to teach and having fun on the court. Given her tennis background, she likes to focus on Net Play and court positioning. When Ellen is off the pickleball court (which is not often), she is spending time with her husband, her twin Sheepadoodles, and her friends. She does a bit of traveling, but never forgets her paddle, as you never know what pickle court lies around the corner!
