Co-Founder Noah Sussman is currently the Director of Racquet Sports at one of our first NJPL partner organizations, Broomfield Swim and Tennis. Noah has spent his career promoting youth and adult tennis and has been an early adapter to offering pickleball programming. Despite having competed in primarily individual sports, most of Noah's fondest memories have come from competing as a member of a team, whether it was high school tennis or Little League Baseball. 

Our other Co-Founder Andrew Chernaik works as a full-time physician but in his free time plays both tennis and pickleball competitively. He's always enjoyed working with local junior tennis players and helping them develop their game. He still coaches tennis part-time but more recently, he's shifted his attention towards promoting youth pickleball. He's currently working with local PE programs to add pickleball to their curriculum. He and Noah share the vision of creating a team atmosphere for youth pickleball players and providing an avenue for kids to compete while having fun and developing skills that they can enjoy for a lifetime.
