I am the creator and co-founder of Reisel Rackets, LLC. I am a member of USA Pickleball and a Level 2 Certified Coach through Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR), the Official Education and Certification Partner of USA Pickleball. A lifelong athlete and collegiate softball player, in 2022 I developed a quick passion for pickleball and began seeking local opportunities to play. With increased engagement and getting tuned into the local pickleball community, I frequently met people wanting to learn how to play and others, who were intermediate players, seeking options for tournament or league play in addition to recreational meet ups. Recognizing there was a missing piece for local pickleball players and using my past experiences as an event organizer, I became determined to create new opportunities for learning and competitive play via tournaments, leagues and open play sessions. Since 2023 Reisel Rackets has created program partnerships with Townships and Municipalities to organize and administer their pickleball leagues and clinics. I also continue to schedule individual and group instruction sessions which are hosted at local pickleball, tennis and community center venues. In addition to pickleball, I enjoy cooking, traveling, attending Phillies games and spending time with family, friends and pets.
