Kelly Whalen grew up playing sports. In college her favorite classes were tennis and badminton. This led to pursuing a degree in Physical Education and she graduated from UW Madison in '85. Kelly's first job was at a fitness club where she discovered the game of racquetball. She competed for many years at the state and national level winning multiple championships and was inducted into the Wisconsin Racquetball Hall of Fame in 2012. 

Kelly was also involved in tennis as a player/coach. She participated in 4.5 State League Teams in Minnesota and Wisconsin and served for 8 years as the Head Women's Tennis Coach at UWM. 

Kelly has been a teacher for the past 30 years, the first 10 years she was an elementary physical education teacher. The next nine years she moved to the high school level. For the last 10 years Kelly has been working with the special needs students at the high school level.

Kelly transitioned into Pickleball in 2014 and has never looked back. She's been involved as a player, instructor and ambassador ever since! She is a PCI certified instructor and loves teaching all skill levels individually or in groups.

Terry started playing pickleball in 2014 and was so excited about the game she vowed to meet every player in the state who played!  She began traveling around to all the local groups to do just that - from Allentown to Waukesha, Green Bay to Crivitz, Muskego to Bay View, she brought her outgoing personality and enthusiasm for the game with her.

She realized this was an impossible task so decided she   would get the players to come to her!  This led to organizing events at local venues at Juneau, Sijan, Center Court, and Moorland.  Scrambles, tournaments, and social get togethers, all with prizes, swag, food and fun, and of course, a theme that tied everything together!

A behind the scenes master, Terry wears many hats, from communications director, to videographer, cook to hostess, scheduler to ball picker upper extraordinaire, she is all about providing super fun events and experiences for all the pickleball friends she knows and has yet to meet!
