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.
