Pro Circuit Competitor | High-Level Coach | Drill Queen
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Allie Reichert’s journey from basketball star to rising pickleball pro is fueled by fierce determination, natural athleticism, and an undeniable love for sport. A standout at Mason High School and later at Aurora University, Allie’s competitive fire burned brightly through 71 collegiate basketball starts, multiple academic honors, and even a school record for the most technical fouls in a season—a badge of honor for her unfiltered passion and grit.
Her path to pickleball began during the pandemic, when she and her dad, Steve, took their first swings with paddles in hand. What started as backyard fun quickly turned into an obsession—and a meteoric rise through the ranks. Allie’s basketball instincts translated seamlessly to the pickleball court, where her explosiveness, court vision, and mental toughness made her a standout in local tournaments and eventually on the national stage.
In 2025, Allie is a full-time competitor on the APP Tour, going head-to-head with the best in the country while carving out a name as one of the sport’s next greats. When she’s not traveling, she’s coaching at The Pickle Lodge, where her high-energy lessons, competitive edge, and genuine approach make her a favorite among aspiring players.
Allie enjoys coaching players of all ages and skill levels, but her sweet spot is helping 4.0+ players push through plateaus, sharpen advanced techniques, and prepare for tournament-level play. She’s a big believer in drilling with purpose—and in doing the hard work to unlock breakthrough moments. Allie offers private training, partner sessions, small group lessons, and pro-level clinics focused on technique, repetition, and tactical development.
