🥒 A MESSAGE TO THE JIMMY PICKLE FAMILY 🥒
This is a difficult post to write, but also an exciting one.
For the foreseeable future, Jimmy Pickle will be closing as I begin a new chapter in my life and career. I have accepted an incredible opportunity in Dallas, Texas, where I will serve as Director of Pickleball for two clubs—a premier high-end private racquets and social club, as well as a public indoor pickleball facility.
I am incredibly excited about what lies ahead, but leaving Jimmy Pickle and this amazing community is bittersweet.
To every player who has ever stepped onto a court with me…
THANK YOU. ❤️
Your loyalty and support have never gone unnoticed.
Jimmy Pickle may have started as a pickleball business, but it became something much bigger. It became a community, a family, and one of the most meaningful chapters of my life.
What many of you probably don't realize is how much YOU impacted ME.
Every single one of you has played a role in my personal and professional journey. You gave me the opportunity to continue coaching, helped me rise through adversity, reminded me why I love what I do, and allowed me to wake up every day and continue doing something I truly love.
I may have been the coach on the court, but many times, you were the ones teaching me.
You taught me about friendship, perseverance, loyalty, laughter, competition, and the power of a community coming together around this crazy little game we all love.
And now, I'm taking everything we built together to Dallas.
This next opportunity is a big one, and YOU helped prepare me for it.
The leagues. The clinics. The tournaments. The lessons. The laughs. The friendships. The wins. The losses. And yes… even all those balls hit into the net. 😂
I will carry all of it with me.
While Jimmy Pickle may be closing for the foreseeable future, our friendships don't have to.
Please reach out anytime—with a pickleball question, a problem with your game, for some advice, or simply to say hello. I would love to hear from you.
From the bottom of my heart…
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for supporting Jimmy Pickle.
Thank you for allowing me to coach you.
And thank you for being part of my journey.
Jimmy Pickle was built around pickleball…
But YOU made it special. 🥒❤️
Dallas, Texas… here I come. 🤠
Keep playing. Keep competing. Keep laughing.
