Leslie Srogen

Head Coach

A desire to be fit and stay active along with a caring nature and genuine interest in other people came full circle for Leslie when she first discovered the game of pickleball in 2012.  Soon after learning the game herself she began teaching others which eventually turned into a full time career. 

​

Leslie has competed in both the Canadian and US Nationals as well as several other tournaments.  While she loves being a player, introducing and teaching pickleball to others is her real passion.   She wants to make it possible for others to experience the fun and health benefits that this sport has to offer.  

​

Leslie has also been an advocate for pickleball in her community by sitting on the board of the Parkland Pickleheads Club for six years, refereeing and most recently helping PCO develop their Best Practice Guidelines. 

Cofounding "In A Pickle" with her playing and business partner, Sean in October 2017 has allowed Leslie to attain her dream of being able to share her knowledge and love for the sport of pickleball.
