Barbara Drubka

Barbara's pickleball journey began unexpectedly in November 2015, while walking through her neighborhood during recovery from back surgery. She stumbled upon a group of neighbors playing a sport she'd never seen before, and an invitation to join in turned into a passion that's lasted ever since. What started as a fun way to meet new people quickly grew into a love of the game, as she played at local parks and home courts, built lasting friendships, and steadily sharpened her skills.

Over the years, Barbara has attended numerous pickleball camps, vacations, and training sessions, earned her PPR certification as an instructor, and competed in many tournaments in both women's and mixed doubles.  

Barbara specializes in working with beginners and early-intermediate players, helping them grasp the fundamentals quickly so they can get out on the court, play with confidence, and genuinely enjoy the game.  Whether you're brand new to pickleball or looking to build consistency, Barbara can help you.
