Meet Dave and Tracy Wilcox

Dave and Tracy Wilcox started playing pickleball in the summer of 2017. They immediately fell in love with the sport due to their competitive natures, their desire to be athletic, and their love of being with people.

Prior to pickleball, they each coached youth sports at the recreational and club level for more than 20 years. In the fall of 2020, they became certified to coach pickleball. They are now the pickleball teaching pros for the City of Santa Barbara. They teach beginners, intermediate, advanced, and tournament players.

Dave and Tracy are both IPTPA Certified Pickleball Instructors for the Santa Barbara and Goleta areas.
