Performance Pickleball LLC is owned and operated by Diana Abruscato, IPTPA: CPTP & CJPI and is based in Huntington Beach, CA. Since 2013 Performance Pickleball LLC provides contracted pickleball programs and serves the surrounding Orange and Los Angeles County communities. A Southern California native she began playing tennis in Lakewood, CA at just 9 years old. Just after high school Diana competed in USTA Team Tennis as a 4.5 singles player and participated in leagues and tournaments throughout California. In 2004 she broke her ankle/leg while surfing. She could no longer cover the tennis court 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 all-around athlete."
In 2012 Diana found pickleball, and was naturally, very excited. Pickleball is where she expanded her athletic and professional talent, and began competing in pickleball events, extended her role as Tournament Director for USAPA (at the time now, USAP) Sanctioned Tournaments for 6 years, and began coaching and teaching pickleball as a contracted pickleball instructor for the City of Huntington Beach.
In 2014, Diana became a USAPA 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 instructional governing body, prior to professional players, before You Tube videos were available. Studying and reading books was an instrumental part of her training.
As an entrepreneur, Diana became one of the first of 30 International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA) Certified Instructors throughout the nation. Soon thereafter Performance Pickleball became an LLC, as an Authorized pickleball program service provider for a variety of City entities, County entities, School Districts, and continues to host Special Events and host to business property owners seeking morale-based programming. Realizing the importance of these programs, education, specialties and the certifying process, she enjoys working alongside a staff of trusted individuals, making sure her staff and volunteers are engaging, fun, professional, honest, integrity driven and Certified Instructors. Each employee and volunteer are College Educated, go through extensive training, CPR & First Aid Certified, they are required to pass an extensive FBI & DOJ background check and are fingerprinted, and most importantly they are also mandated reporters. Performance Pickleball LLC ensures safety, fun, professionalism, honesty, and is offer integrity driven programs, services and experiences that exceed expectations to our contracted partners and participants.
In 2022, Diana alongside Performance Pickleball LLC Coach Jaleh continues their education and training as Certified "Youth Specialty" Instructors. Their expertise does not stop there, recently added is a Para-Professional certificate to be able 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 and continue to learn as the sport evolves.
Diana education and professional experience includes a B.A. Degree in Communications: Advertising and a B.A Degree in Sociology from CSU - Fullerton. She also received a "Professional Meeting Planning and Special Events" certificate from CSUF. Currently, Diana is in the process of obtaining a master's degree at CSULB to become familiar with additional opportunities to bring to Performance Pickleball LLC, her team of professionals and in the pickleball arena. Thus, highlighting why the founder says, "continuing education is so important" just as much as the tagline for her company "Discover Your Game."
During her spare time, Diana is the founder and president of a federally tax-exempt non-profit that serves her local pickleball community.
