Royal Borough Dinkers

Royal Borough Dinkers is a pickleball club based in Berkshire, offering weekly sessions for players of all abilities across the county. The club is led by Russell Trayling, a Pickleball England Level 2 Coach and Coach Educator, who brings a structured and supportive approach to every session, combining technical and tactical coaching with a genuine focus on fun and player development.

Sessions are welcoming and inclusive, catering for complete beginners through to those looking to develop their competitive game, with coaching available on a one-to-one basis as well as for groups. Russell's approach centres on helping players go beyond their perceived potential, focusing on decision-making, court positioning and strategy to help players play smarter rather than simply faster.

Beyond regular club sessions, Russell organises after-school pickleball groups across Berkshire and delivers Pickleball England coaching courses as a qualified Coach Educator, making Royal Borough Dinkers a club with strong ties to the wider development of the sport in the region.
