MEET THE FOUNDERS

Emma

I started my pickleball obsession in 2023. Looking for a new hobby and a change of pace from 24/7 Mom life, I reluctantly and nervously went to the local community centre to try pickleball. Very quickly I realized that not only was this new activity fun and addictive but also was providing huge mental and physical health benefits.

To share this love for the game, Santhosh and I founded Darkhorse Dinkers as a space for people to try the game in a fun welcoming environment. As a Level 1 Nationally Certified Coach through Pickleball Canada and the Tennis Professionals Association I hope to spread the pickleball love across the region.

I started pickleball when I physically could not do much otherwise to train. Emma and I created this pickleball space to change all the “I can’t” to “I Crushed it!”.
I promise …playing pickleball has strengthened our Unbeaten spirit. Grab a Paddle and come see me on the court!
