Jax Sleigh

I have just moved to North East Hampshire/Berkshire/ West Surrey borders. I am an enthusiastic qualified PE teacher for over 34 years, who in the past has been a successful hockey and netball coach for Juniors. I got bitten by the Pickleball bug just before COVID and decided that it was a lot safer than playing competitive hockey, so decided to swap my hockey stick for my paddle.

I loved it so much that I qualified as a IPTPA Level 1 coach in 2023 and also PBE level 1 coach in 2025.  My aim is to introduce pickleball to all and spread the enjoyment through the local community with fun drills and games. I set up and ran Christchurch Dinkers club in Dorset in 2023 and The Pink Ladies sessions as part of Dorset Pickleball Club. I also run sessions for Junior schools, church groups and the U3a.  My sessions are engaging and all inclusive irrespective of age, skill level and ability. Whether you are a beginner or a regular player, I use my wealth of teaching experience to provide tailored sessions for you or your club. I particularly enjoy working with schools and beginners.  Safeguarding trained, Enhanced DBS, Sports First Aid Certificated.
