Peggy Skokan

I picked up a paddle for the first time on Tuesday, July 13th, 2021-and fell in love with the game instantly.  Thanks to Rick Topp, who generously took me under his wing, I quickly dove into the world of pickleball and never looked back. Since then, Rick and I have played and won numerous tournaments. I am constantly learning and growing as a player, partner, and competitor.

One of my proudest moment? Playing 338 games in a fundraiser in the month of October 2022-a true test of passion, stamina, and love for the game. 

Now, I’m turning that passion into purpose. I offer pickleball training for players who want to improve in a fun, supportive, and informative environment. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, boost your confidence, or just get more comfortable on the court, I’m here to help you enjoy the process and grow your game. 

Let’s play smarter, move better, and have fun doing it!!
