Hi! Welcome to Novapickleacademy LLC. I am the owner Chandra Soucek. I am passionate about teaching, coaching and playing pickleball! I am also a veteran Pilates instructor, which is very helpful in giving tips on mindful movement and preventing injuries. I have many references to share... as far as coaching and running a senior pro pickleball team. My credentials - IPTPA Level ! and 2 instructor, Pickleball, tennis, padel, real tennis enthusiasts! VAIR ambassador, and rater. Senior Pro player, a few years back in the APP, and hope to play in a few APP senior pro tourneys in the upcoming year, while also competing in the USLPL senior pro league starting in Sept 2026. I am really excited about the opportunity to play this year, as took most of 2025 off, coaching and managing a senior pro team(proudly formerly owned DMV Picklers). i have also enjoyed being a volunteer helper for the JMU pickleball club( my daughter part of this amazing club). What a great experience! I learned so much from all these players. I hope to hear from you!
