Nice to meet you!!

Hello! I’m Christine!

After a 20 year career in the entertainment industry working in corporate leadership, recruiting, hiring, training etc. It was time for a pivot to new adventures. So I launched Left Coast Pickle, and things are taking OFF!

I am a PPR Certified Associate Coach. (PPR is the Professional Pickleball Registry, for anyone not familiar.) I have 5 years of Pickleball playing experience, and a handful of tournaments under my belt. I also have an extensive background in organized sports. I played D3 college basketball, competed for 3 years in collegiate cycling, and 5 years of open-water ocean outrigger canoe racing, and more.

If you are a Beginner, or working your way from beginner to intermediate player, you are in the right place! My teaching style is fun & supportive. We want to have a great time, get out of our comfort zone, laugh at ourselves, and learn a few things. I work with all ages, with families, friends, etc. You will laugh a lot and learn what you need to know to get your Pickleball journey underway!

I am based in Marin County, and work primarily in Marin, Sonoma and Napa regions. But, I’m open to discussing travel for the right scenario! Let’s discuss!
