Take each day, each challenge, and each match one point at a time. Pickleball has given me a new challenge to learn to be the best coach and player I can be. Having a tennis and sports background has helped me come up with creative ways to teach the fastest growing sport in the USA with all levels and abilities. I originally learned playing in the Villages, FL when I was ten years old and continued to play whenever I visited FL. I picked up the sport again a few years ago and started competing last year. Ari’s hobbies include long-distance running, playing tennis, traveling, going to the beach, trying new restaurants, learning new languages, and shopping! See you on the courts Septmber 25, 2023!
