Hi, I'm Rae. I'm originally from Michigan, USA, and now based in Shrewsbury, UK. I come from a competitive tennis background, having played NCAA Division III tennis at Olivet College, before transitioning into pickleball. I compete nationally and internationally, with a strong focus on performance, progression, and consistency. Alongside competing, I'm a Women's Development Coach at Telford Pickleball, where I'm passionate about supporting more women into the sport. I'm driven by high standards on court and a commitment to helping British pickleball grow.

Hi, I'm Josh. I'm from Nuneaton and started out in tennis before switching to pickleball at 16. Since then, I've competed nationally and internationally, winning gold at the English Open and the Prague Open in men's doubles. I hold a 5+ DUPR rating and focus on controlled, high-intensity play built around consistency and decision-making. Alongside competing, I coach pickleball in schools, helping introduce the sport at grassroots level. I'm driven by progress on court and a belief in where British pickleball is heading.

Hi, I'm Ewan. I discovered pickleball four years ago after reading about it in a magazine and quickly committed to the sport. What began as curiosity turned into competitive focus and rapid progression. Since then, I've competed across Europe, winning the U16 European Championship and playing at the European Finals in Arlberg in 2024. I'm driven by performance, discipline, and a desire to keep improving, while helping grow the sport and encouraging more young players to get involved. Based in Shrewsbury, UK.

Hey, I'm Sarah, based in Boston, Lincolnshire. I discovered pickleball in 2024 after my dad wouldn't stop raving about it, and it quickly became a huge passion. I love the speed, fast reactions and quick-fire nature of the game, with my biggest achievement so far being medalling in Mixed Doubles 4.0 at the 2025 English Nationals. I don't come from a tennis or similar sports background, so I'm proudly a true pickleball-only player. I'm driven to keep competing, improving and contributing to the amazing British pickleball community — the family I've found through this sport means everything to me.
