Claire is a Level 1 IPTPA Certified Pickleball Instructor,  a Level 1 NCCP Pickleball Instructor, and a Certified Level 1 Pickleball Referee. 

It did not take Claire, a lifelong athlete, long to become addicted to Pickleball. Early in 2019, she was asked to help run a series of pickleball clinics which led her to earning her coaching certifications. 

Before pickleball, Claire’s primary sports were tennis and badminton. Previously, she coached youth soccer and instructed swim lessons. 

For many years now, she has played pickleball competitively and has medaled tournaments across North America, including the Canadian Nationals, the Alberta and Saskatchewan Provincials, and Pickleball Canada’s Western Regional Championship.

Claire’s pickleball teaching has been ongoing for more than four years, including clinics, small groups, and private lessons at the beginner, novice, and intermediate levels. She thoroughly enjoys introducing pickleball to new players.
