Performance Pickleball LLC is owned and operated by Diana Abruscato, IPTPA: CPTP & CJPI and is based in Huntington Beach, CA. Since 2014 Performance Pickleball LLC contracts programs and serves the surrounding Orange and Los Angeles counties communities. Diana was born in Oceanside California, and as a Southern California native she began playing tennis at 9 years while taking her first her first lesson in Lakewood California. Just after high school Diana competed in USTA Tennis as a 4.0 Singles player and participated in leagues and tournaments through 2004 until she broke her leg while surfing. She could not cover the tennis court as a singles player like she used to, so she set tennis aside, and continued to golf, play soccer, road bike, surf and has been referred to as a "natural athlete."      

​​

In 2012 Diana found pickleball, and was naturally, very excited. Pickleball is where she expanded her talent, and began competing, running USAPA (at the time now, USAP) sanctioned tournaments for 6 years, and began coaching and teaching pickleball as a contracted instructor for the City of Huntington Beach.

​

In 2014, Diana became a USAP Ambassador for Huntington Beach and served in that role until 2019. As she grew the program through community engagement, she realized every city should be (legally) teaching this sport. She began to develop Performance Pickleball LLC prior to the existence of any certifying governing body, professional players, and "0" You Tube videos.​

​​

As an entrepreneur, Diana became one of the first of 30 IPTPA certified instructors throughout the nation through International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA) and officially became Performance Pickleball LLC, an authorized pickleball program service provider for a variety of city entities, county entities, school districts, special events and business property owners. Realizing the importance of these programs, education, specialties and certifying process, she enjoys working alongside a staff of trusted individuals, making sure her staff and volunteers are engaging, fun, professional, integrity driven and certified (or interested in becoming certifies) instructors. With each employee and volunteer, they are authorized, HS & college educated, trained, CPR & First Aid Certified, must pass an extensive FBI & DOJ background check/fingerprinted, and most importantly mandated reporters. We want to ensure a safe, integrity driven programs and experience to exceed expectations to our contracted partners and participant during the fun of discovery, learning, growing, playing and participating in our programs. 

​

In 2022, Diana along with Jaleh continued their education and succeeded as Certified "Youth Specialty" Instructors. Our expertise does not stop there, we added a Para-Professional certificate to train employees on the ability to coach those players that may need modifications to their learning and playing.  Performance Pickleball LLC is consistently evolving into providing professional state of the art programs for our contracts and participants. 

​​

Currently, Diana is in the process of obtaining a master's degree at CSULB to become familiar with additional opportunities she wants to bring to Performance Pickleball LLC and her professional team of employees and volunteers in the pickleball arena. She also earned a B.A. Degree in Communications: Advertising and a B.A Degree in Sociology from CSU - Fullerton in 2003 and continued her education at CSUF to receive a "Professional Meeting Planning and Special Events" certificate. Highlighting "continuing education is so important" says founder.
