Welcome Heather Kim to the ERC Pickleball Team!

Heather Kim of UCONN Pickleball

We’re thrilled to officially welcome Heather Kim as one of our pickleball instructors at Ellington Racquet Club!


Heather isn’t just any coach—she’s one of the top pickleball players in Connecticut and was ranked Top 12 Junior in the U.S. She currently serves as the President of the UConn Pickleball Club and competes as a sponsored emerging pro with Selkirk. She also helps grow the sport nationwide as a DUPR collegiate ambassador.


With over three years of coaching experience, Heather has trained both adults and kids at all skill levels. Her ability to break down the game, combined with her energy and strategic insight, makes her a favorite among students looking to level up their play.


Whether you’re just getting started or chasing tournament goals, Heather brings the passion and expertise to help you grow.


We’re proud to have her on board—and we know you’ll love working with her on the court.
