Your Coaches
We're Lucy and Luke — two pickleball-obsessed coaches based in Sussex who believe this sport should be for everyone. Whether you've never picked up a paddle or you're looking to sharpen your game in a social setting, we've got a session for you.
Lucy is a Pickleball England certified coach who has been bringing pickleball to Brighton & Hove since its explosion in the UK, and Luke holds a Group Leaders Certificate with Pickleball England. Together we run a range of sessions at Hove Beach Park, from our Tuesday night club session to Saturday morning coached tasters for complete beginners.
Pickleball is fast, fun, and brilliantly accessible — and we're here to prove it. Come along and join the community!
