Hi everyone! I'm Emily Wong, and I'm so excited to share my passion for pickleball with you through our beginner-friendly community here in the Seattle area. 

My pickleball journey began in 2022, right in the heart of the COVID pandemic. Like many, I was searching for connection, activity, and a sense of community. What I found on the pickleball court was so much more than I ever expected.

Pickleball completely transformed my life. It wasn't just about the exercise (though that was a fantastic bonus!). It was the camaraderie, the laughter, and the sheer joy of learning a new sport that truly captivated me. I discovered a vibrant community, a place where everyone was welcome, regardless of skill level.

That's why I created this beginner pickleball community – to provide a welcoming and supportive space for anyone in the Seattle area who wants to experience the joy of pickleball. Whether you've never held a paddle before or you're looking to brush up on the basics, you'll find a home here.

My goal is simple: to make pickleball accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Let's learn, laugh, and grow together on the court! I look forward to meeting you and sharing the sport that has brought so much happiness into my life.

My pickleball journey began in 2022, during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. While working remotely, I was searching for connections and a way to stay active. When I first stepped onto the court, I was immediately hooked. The game's simplicity and the instant gratification of rallies made it incredibly enjoyable. But what truly transformed my life was the sense of community I found. The welcoming atmosphere and the supportive players made me feel like I belonged.

I also discovered a hidden passion for coaching and helping others. I loved breaking down the game for beginners, watching their confidence grow, and seeing the joy on their faces as they improved. Pickleball wasn't just a sport for me; it became a source of joy, connection, and personal growth.

Inspired by the incredible community I found within pickleball, I decided to create a space where others could experience the same sense of belonging and support. I wanted to build a community that was welcoming to everyone, especially those new to the sport.

I started by organizing beginner-friendly sessions, focusing on creating a fun and non-intimidating environment. As our community grew, I focused on fostering a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable learning and playing.

I believe that pickleball should be accessible to everyone, regardless of skill level and background. My goal is to create a space where beginners can learn, grow, and connect with others who share their love for the game. I'm excited to continue building our community together and sharing the joy of pickleball with more people in the Seattle area.
