Donna Balara

My relationship with pickleball started 4 years ago.  Being very athletic and having played college volleyball, the sport came very naturally to me and I to it! I love its unique combination of physical activity, mental challenge and social outlet. It is mesmerizing. 

My love of the sport led me to develop skills at a professional facility. My quick grasp of the nuances of the game led me to a position on the staff as a trainer. 

I have developed a loyal following through word of mouth recommendations. 

I come uniquely qualified having been an adjunct professor in marketing communications, a corporate trainer and with a passion for helping people learn this unique sport at the beginner to intermediate level. 

I have an MBA and spent my career in the non profit and government sector. I have also grown and developed a family with my loving husband of 35 years.
