About Me

Hi, I’m Blake Pembroke

I’m a USAPA/PPR certified professional pickleball instructor living in the mid-Atlantic region in the beautiful town of Williamsburg, Virginia. My passion for playing pickleball motivates me to help other aspiring pickleball players who share the same passion for the sport. I’m also a brand ambassador for CRBN Pickleball, quite certainly the best pickleball brand in the business, and makers of the best paddles for those aspiring to reach new heights of play.

Early on

In my youth I was a three-hour-a-day tennis player. My career path took a different turn for a few decades until one day my neighbors asked me to try this game with the strange name. A few dozen pairs of court shoes later I’m as passionate about pickleball as I was that first day.

Current

I enjoy playing pickleball every day and seeing others enjoy the game too. I have played on pickleball courts across the country, from the hallowed U.S. Open courts in Naples, Florida, to the converted basketball courts in Belfast, Maine. Everywhere I play I meet people who enjoy the feeling of being part of a pickleball community and who love the game as I do.
