CHERYL YOUNG
Cheryl has the highest pickleball coaching certification in Canada, is a sponsored Paddletek athlete, is B.C.'s Swiftnet Ambassador, and is one of the top ranked female players in Whistler. As such, she wants to share her personal passion for pickleball with you. With an outstanding background as a volleyball coach for over a decade, Cheryl turned her attention to pickleball in 2021. She coaches out of the Hollyburn Country Club where she is Head Pro as well as the Whistler Racket Club and Gleneagles Community Center. She is also available throughout the North Shore and Sea-to-Sky corridor for private, semi-private and group lessons and is currently running one day camps throughout the Lower Mainland. In addition, Cheryl sells paddles, Swiftnet portable nets, and Ryder protective eyewear. She has Paddletek demonstration paddles and Ryder glasses to try and she has them with her for purchase at all times.
Prior to retiring at age 40, Cheryl ran a highly successful RESP sales and marketing agency. She hired, trained, and managed 18 sales representatives and was in the top 10 of the nation’s agencies for production in Canada. Cheryl was frequently asked to be a keynote speaker at the Regional and National Conferences covering such topics as “Creating a Positive Work Environment,” “Attaining Goals,” and “Getting the Most Out of Your People."
Her business background and understanding of what it takes to keep people motivated, happy, and productive, along with her skill in coaching diverse groups of people are all key components to making her pickleball coaching a great success.
