There’s a new pickleball pro in town. Troy Akin, PPA Tour two-time gold medalist and a top 100 professional pickleball player, is bringing his skill and passion to Incline Village.
While playing and coaching tennis for 10-plus years, Akin fell in love with pickleball just before it became one of the most talked-about sports in the nation.
“I got in right before the pandemic boom of pickleball hit,” said Akin. “So I had a little advantage getting in early.”
