Build smarter habits, sharper strategy and match-ready confidence with Steve Deakin and his hand-picked coaching team.
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.

Feeling incredibly grateful to have been part of Team Canada at the MLP Nations Cup event in Dallas! What an amazing experience surrounded by incredible talent, passion, sportsmanship, and people who share a love for the game. Moments like these remind me how special it is to be part of something bigger than yourself. I’m thankful for every opportunity, every connection, and every memory made along the way. A special thanks to Pickleball Canada for their support to our players. We are looking forward to continuing the growth of Canadian Pickleball. @majorleaguepb @pickleballca @victoriadimuzio @layne_sleether01 @ryan.torresin_pb @blainehov @armaanjm_pb @angiewalker_ also massive shoutout to the very talented @cs9sports for her photography talent
