Meet the Team

Swindon Pickleball is run by a small group of dedicated players who give their time to organise sessions, festivals, leagues and events. Important meetings are often discussed down the pub, then backed up with plenty of planning and organisation (down the pub).

We’re all active members of the club, passionate about pickleball, willing to roll our sleeves up to get the courts and events ready to make every session welcoming, fun and well run.
