"Playing good pickleball is not the end product of all our efforts, but rather an ongoing process of self-improvement. Embrace and enjoy the process."
Our mission is to shepherd players toward a more rewarding and satisfying pickleball experience with emphasis on having fun.
Pete and Anna are certified Pickleball coaches with the PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry). They are tournament players, sponsored by Onix Canada and longtime members of the Nanaimo Pickleball Club. They are also the founding members of Pickleball Our Way (POW), an organization dedicated to improving skill levels from beginner to advanced, through a technical, tactical and philosophical approach to the game. POW also produces YouTube videos on a variety of entertaining and informative pickleball topics. Their teaching style is to break down the skills, explain and demonstrate in a hands-on fashion and to ensure that students understand the game. They are both passionate about the game and are always approachable and available to answer any questions.
They have 8 years playing and coaching experience with many podium appearances in both Canada and the USA. Pete, in addition, has a degree in kinesiology and coaching theories.
In 2018, they reached the podium in 8 of 9 tournaments at the 4.0 and Open levels. They were honoured by the City of Nanaimo by being nominated for Sports Partners of the Year. They were also awarded a certificate of congratulations and a medallion for the Civic Sport Merit Award from the Nanaimo City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission.
They are both retired and their time is quite flexible and are willing to go anywhere to pursue and to share their pickleball passion.
A little note to beginners:
If you're thinking of trying pickleball and you think you're too old or you feel you have no athletic abilities, come on out, have some fun with us and we'll show you how you can play...before you pick up bad habits.
They offer private and semi-private lessons and group clinics. Please contact them at [email protected] or 250-668-3562 regarding rates and for more information.
