Leslie Bashinsky built a competitive career most players only dream of — a full-ride Division I scholarship, the #1 ranking in Alabama at every age, and a second act in pickleball that's taken her all the way to a professional draft. Now she's teaching that same game in Birmingham.
From a hall-of-fame plaque to a pro league draft pick — the honors span two different sports and three decades.
Inducted for outstanding contributions and devoted service to tennis in Alabama throughout the years.
Gold medal, singles — Albuquerque, NM
Bronze medal, singles
Singles champion, 2018
Gold medal — doubles and mixed doubles
Professional Pickleball Registry
Selected for the senior professional division — DUPR rating 5.26, four gold medals on record.
A teaching career that started before pickleball existed as we know it — and never really stopped.
