Meet Steve Deakin

Steve Deakin first picked up a tennis racquet at five years old and learned the game with his dad. He went on to win 11 Canadian National Titles, earn an ATP ranking, and represent Canada as a two-time Senior World Team player and captain.

After a tennis injury in 2017, Steve found pickleball and never looked back. He is now a multi-major medalist, five-time Canadian National Champion and winner of numerous pro doubles titles. Between competitions, he leads clinics and camps across Canada.
