Melissa Stuart
(Impact Pickleball Director)
My name is Melissa Stuart. I have had a passion for many sports throughout my life. Tennis was my focus, spending my early years playing USTA tournaments in California and continued playing competitively through college and beyond. Once I started teaching elementary school and having a family, I put down my racquet for a while and began coaching youth soccer and whatever sports my children were involved in. Seven years ago, my husband’s job brought us to McKinney, Texas. I continued teaching school and was fully involved with our boys’ baseball and hockey schedules. Three and half years ago, I decided to go check out this thing called Pickleball. Within minutes of playing, I was hooked. I went and earned my PPR Instructor Certification. Teaching pickleball has combined my two passions of teaching and playing pickleball. I have been doing lessons for 9 months now. I recently retired from teaching after 36 years and I am now fully dedicated to sharing the fastest growing social, fun sport, Pickleball, with as many people as I can.
