Sydney Steinaker is the founder of Bassline Sports, where pickleball meets house music. By day, she’s a certified pickleball coach. By night, she’s probably DJing or planning her next pickleball rave. Learning pickleball shouldn’t feel intimidating and you can expect cringey jokes, solid playlists, and a reminder that having fun is a strategy.
"I brought my whole family out for a pickleball day with Sydney, and it could not have been a better experience. She kept the kids engaged, made sure the adults were learning at our own pace, and somehow balanced fun with real instruction the entire time. By the end of the lesson, we were all laughing, rallying, and already planning our next family pickleball outing.

Around five years back, I fell head over heels for this addictive sport after years of USTA tennis. Recognizing the nuanced finesse required in pickleball, I pursued proper training, eager to bridge the gap for players transitioning from other sports. As a senior player, I've found pickleball to offer an incredible workout with less strain on the body. That's why I became a certified coach through the Professional Pickleball Registry, dedicated to teaching the game cohesively and joyfully. Let's smash some volleys and serve up smiles together on the court!
