You’re in the right place!

Meet the Voice Behind Active Seniors Pickleball

Active Seniors Pickleball was created by Christian Nagai — a competitive senior pickleball player who started later in life, just like you.

He wasn’t a tennis player…

He didn’t grow up playing racket sports…

He started from scratch…

Now he is a pickleball addict!

Christian grew up playing sports, which serve as some of his frist memories. A 4-sport letter athlete in high school, he continued his love for competition though rec leagues and play in adulthood.

Finding pickleball durring COVID was a turning point in his life. Within a year, he was hooked, and all it.

Together with his wife Charlott, he also runs Pickleball Odyssey, a business focused on tournaments, marketing, and growing the sport.

While Pickleball Odyssey works behind the scenes, Active Seniors Pickleball is where Christian helps everyday players learn how to start pickleball after 50—and stick with it.

– staying active without overthinking it

Christian learned everything the hard way—by showing up, making mistakes, and improving over time.
