MEET RACHEL

PICKLEBALL COACH AND COMPETITIVE PLAYER 

Professional Pickleball Coaching in the UK

I am a highly experienced pickleball coach and competitive player, offering professional pickleball coaching for players of all abilities across the UK. With a strong background in both coaching and high-level competition, I specialise in helping players develop solid technique, tactical understanding, and confidence on court.

Coaching Qualifications & Experience

I gained my first coaching qualification with GB Pickleball in 2018 and have since expanded my professional training through additional coaching qualifications with Pickleball England and the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR).

Since qualifying, I have coached consistently at all levels, from beginner and introductory pickleball sessions through to advanced and competitive players. Many of the players I have coached have progressed to DUPR ratings of 4.5+, competing successfully at national level.

My coaching style is structured, supportive, and results-driven, with sessions tailored to the individual goals of each player.

Competitive Playing Career

Alongside coaching, I continue to compete at the highest levels of pickleball in the UK.

In 2022, I was selected to play in a Major League Pickleball team, competing alongside some of the top players in the country. Over two seasons, our team achieved silver and bronze medals.

In 2024, I was chosen to compete in the Franklin Premier Pickleball League, a highly competitive, six-month league featuring the leading pickleball players in the UK. Our team finished top of the league, an achievement that reflects both consistency and high-level performance.

Coaching Philosophy

As a pickleball coach, I bring together elite-level playing experience and professional coaching expertise to help players improve their skills, enjoy the game, and achieve their personal pickleball goals — whether that is learning the fundamentals, competing in tournaments, or progressing to high national level.
