Owner and PPR Certified Pro Instructor for Pickleball Organized 

Co-Founder & Co-Owner, Body Kinetics Sports Club 

Welcome to Pickleball Organized! Our mission is simple: to create organized, welcoming, and community-driven pickleball experiences that bring people together through the sport we love.

Krishna is the Founder and CEO of Pickleball Organized, one of Northern California's leading pickleball organizations dedicated to instruction, events, leagues, and community programming. She is also the Co-Founder and Co-Owner of Body Kinetics Sports Club, a premier indoor sports and wellness destination in downtown San Rafael. www.bodykineticssportsclub.com

Before entering the world of pickleball, Krishna spent more than two decades in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), building a successful career with internationally recognized engineering firms including Parsons Engineering, AECOM, and Kennedy/Jenks Consultants. An entrepreneur at heart, she never imagined that her passion for sports would evolve into a business-but pickleball made that dream a reality.

A lifelong athlete, Krishna grew up competing in table tennis and later played high-level USTA tennis for more than 30 years while also participating in varsity softball. After discovering pickleball in 2020, she quickly advanced to the 5.0 tournament level, earning medals in numerous competitions. In 2022, she became one of the first PPR Certified Professional Instructors in Marin County and has since taught thousands of players with an emphasis on strong fundamentals, efficient movement, strategy, and injury prevention.

Through Pickleball Organized, Krishna has built successful programs throughout Marin County and the East Bay, partnering with communities including Novato, Sausalito, Ross, San Anselmo, Fairfax, San Rafael and Piedmont. Her company offers clinics, leagues, tournaments, retreats, and corporate events designed to make pickleball accessible, fun, and well organized for players of all skill levels.

Krishna has also developed unique collaborations and experiences, including the popular Wine & Pickleball events with Anaba Wines, which were featured on the cover of Pickleball Magazine. Additional partnerships have included d.hudson Golfwear, Made in Marin, local schools, Rotary clubs, and numerous charitable organizations.

When she's not teaching, organizing events, or growing the game, Krishna enjoys spending time with her two rescue pups, Milli and Zola.

For Krishna, pickleball is more than a sport-it's a community, a source of joy, and a way to bring people together. Pickleball truly is a sport like no other. It welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds, creates friendships, and fills every court with energy, laughter, and connection.

Come out, join the fun, and Let's Dink Together!

Christy’s love for pickleball is undeniable - and contagious. What began as a chance introduction to the sport in early 2020 quickly turned into a true passion, both for the game itself and the vibrant community that surrounds it.

From the very beginning, Christy immersed herself in the local pickleball scene and has been an active and familiar presence ever since. You may have seen her on the courts in Sausalito, Larkspur, Mill Valley, San Rafael, or Novato - or competing in MLP-style tournaments at Flyte. Along the way, she has played with a wide range of players and has helped introduce many newcomers to the sport.

Christy understands why pickleball continues to be the fastest-growing sport in America. Its accessibility makes it easy to learn, while its depth and strategy keep players engaged as they improve. As a trained coach through Pickleball Coaching International, Christy brings a high-energy, supportive approach to instruction, creating a fun and encouraging environment where players can thrive.

Deeply connected within the local pickleball community, Christy finds great joy in sharing the game with others. Pickleball has become a central part of her life - so much so that she, her husband, and their friends often plan trips around destinations that are known for their open play pickleball courts.

Though always athletic, Christy spent years without playing a sport before rediscovering her competitive spirit later in life as an indoor cycling instructor at Pelo Fitness in San Rafael. That experience reignited her passion for movement, fitness, and play - ultimately leading her to pickleball.

Today, Christy embraces her role as a competitive senior athlete, blending determination with a genuine sense of fun. She brings both skill and positivity to the court and looks forward to sharing the joy of pickleball with you.
