Geraldine Couch
I’m a recently retired primary school teacher who is loving the opportunity to keep active, meet great people and enjoy the social interactions that pickleball brings. I’ve had some injuries that have prevented me from playing but I’m relishing playing again and being a part of the Torquay club.

Level 1
Graeme Smith
Graeme has a background in adventure pursuits such as mountain biking, rock climbing, back-country skiing and mountaineering. He is experienced mentoring and coaching adults in these activities and has a tertiary qualification in Outdoor Education.Pickleball has become a significant part of his life in the last couple of years after he decided to try something different and more 'age appropriate'. Lacking a background in other 'bat & ball' sports, it's been quite a learning curve. An enjoyable and ongoing process. Graeme enjoys working with people who are keen to learn and improve. While he brings a light-hearted supportive approach to his coaching, this is underpinned by his analytical mind. The aim is fun and learning in equal measure.

Rob Wegner
My pickleball journey started over 3 years ago at the Torquay stadium. I have enjoyed being part of the early growth of the club and quickly became a true convert to the sport. After completing a level 1 coaching course a couple of years ago, I was motivated to improve and so competed in a number of competitions in Victoria and NSW. Since my retirement as a PE teacher, I have enjoyed being able to help others grow their skills and knowledge of the game. Hope to see you at the kitchen soon.
