Club Coach
Ana — Pickleball Coach, Competitor & Community Builder
Ana discovered pickleball in London in the early 2020s, where a weekly game at a local gym quickly grew into a genuine passion. She soon connected with clubs across the city, entered tournaments, and embraced the sport’s unique blend of pace, energy, and community spirit.
For Ana, the most powerful part of pickleball is its ability to bring people together. On any court, you’ll find players from every walk of life united by the game, building friendships and enjoying the energy that makes pickleball so special.
Since returning to Australia in 2023, Ana has quickly made her mark. Within three months, she competed at the Victorian Championships and proudly claimed gold. She has since completed formal training, become an accredited pickleball coach, and continues to compete in tournaments.
Coaching is now one of Ana’s greatest joys, helping players build confidence, develop their skills, and discover the same love for the sport that she has.
Coaching Philosophy
Ana believes movement is the best medicine for the mind, body, and soul. For her, pickleball is the perfect mix of competition, inclusivity, fun, and energy — all in one game.
