TS Pickleball was born from our love for sports, coaching, and bringing people together through the game.<\/p>\n

As former Division I tennis players with years of coaching experience, we discovered pickleball in the USA and quickly fell in love with its energy, accessibility, and the way it brings people together.
\nAfter helping introduce pickleball at a country club in the USA, we knew this was a sport we wanted to share with Ljubljana.
\nOur goal is simple: to help more people discover pickleball, improve their game, and experience what makes this sport so fun, accessible, and addictive.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We\u2019re Teodora and Sandra, originally from Serbia, with 18 years of experience living, competing, and coaching in the USA. We both played Division I college tennis and coached for more than a decade.
\nIn 2018, we introduced pickleball at the country club where we were coaching in the USA and had the opportunity to watch the sport grow from something new into a thriving program. That experience sparked our passion for the game and inspired us to bring pickleball to Ljubljana.
\nToday, as experienced coaches, JOOLA ambassadors, and passionate pickleball players, we\u2019re here to help you learn, improve your skills, and most importantly, enjoy the game.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t

I\u2019m a former Division I tennis player, coach, and pickleball enthusiast with over 15 years of coaching experience. During my time in the USA, I introduced pickleball at the country club where I coached and had the opportunity to help develop the program as the sport began to take off.
\nI\u2019ve also had the opportunity to work alongside some of the sport\u2019s top professionals, including Colin Johns and Dekel Bar, as part of coaching staff for pickleball getaways and training experiences.
\nThese opportunities have allowed me to learn from some of the best in the game and bring that knowledge to every player I coach.
\nToday, together with my sister Sandra, I\u2019m excited to grow the sport in Ljubljana and help players of all ages discover just how fun, social, and rewarding pickleball can be.
\nWhen I\u2019m not on the court, I\u2019m traveling, meeting new people, or spending time with my two amazing kids.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>
