Ash Spencer
Co-Founder
IPTPA level 1 accredited pickleball coach.
Whilst touring worldwide with his band Yossarian over the past decade, Ash and his bandmates were always seeking ways of keeping physically and mentally fit on the road in between shows, regularly playing squash, tennis, and table tennis whenever downtime arrived. Having discovered pickleball on the bands’ most recent tour to Australia, Ash was disappointed to find very few opportunities to play the game when back home in North London. Due to his growing passion for the sport, Ash decided to enroll a couple of close friends and racket sport enthusiasts to help grow pickleball in the UK.
