🏆 CHAMPIONS — AND PROOF THAT GREAT COACHES KEEP COMPETING! 🏆

A HUGE congratulations to Elisha & Noah on winning the Big Moneyball Tournament this weekend! 💰🔥

We are incredibly blessed to have a pro like Elisha leading instruction at Victory Pickleball.

One thing that is extremely important to us at Victory is having an instructional staff that actively competes. Pickleball is evolving FAST. The strategies are changing. The speed of the game is changing. New techniques, shot selections, paddle technology, and patterns of play continue to push the sport forward.

The best instructors don’t just teach the game — they stay in the game.

Elisha continues to compete regularly, test himself against high-level players, and bring that real-world tournament experience right back to the courts at Victory. And this weekend, he proved once again that he remains a top performer. 💪

That experience matters when you’re teaching players who want to improve.

We are so proud to have Elisha as part of the Victory team and grateful for the knowledge, experience, and competitive perspective he brings to our members every day.

And a BIG congratulations to Noah on an incredible tournament as well!

🏆 Elisha & Noah — Big Moneyball Champions!
💰 Way to bring home the WIN!

Congratulations, guys! Victory is proud of you! 💙💛
