All About Me: Inspired by his two racquet-sport loving daughter's passion for pickleball, Christian "Papi" Lopez set out to democratize high-level training for youth and adult players. Recognizing a gap in quality instruction at the foundational level, he envisioned a platform offering meticulously curated classes and events, fostering confidence and improvement. Papi has roots in New York City, South America and now the Midwest.
