About
At NEO Dink, we’re more than a Pickleball Community Organizer; we’re your gateway to the vibrant world of Pickleball in Northeast Ohio. Founded by Esther Daniels, our vision is to inspire the future of Pickleball throughout the local communities of NorthEast Ohio!
Our Story
Our love for the sport began a few years ago, after retiring from Corporate America and turning my free time towards this curious game named “pickleball”. As a local High School Girls Golf Coach and being a Firearms Instructor, I love to study a sport and incorporate my knowledge of coaching for both adults and students, so I became a Certified Pickleball Instructor with PCI. Working with a local senior community, I was able to experience firsthand the excitement and sense of community that comes with learning and teaching others how to play pickleball!
I’ve also seen how small communities need resources to get the game going. They don’t have the financial support or organizing capability of larger communities. And that is how NEO Dink was born! We provide a network for the smaller NEO communities to get the resources needed with our unique proven process! We are here to inspire, connect and transform the local pickleball community.
Our Mission
NEO Dink is on a mission to be the heartbeat of Pickleball in Northeast Ohio. We’re not just a company; we’re a community of enthusiasts dedicated to making Pickleball accessible, fostering a welcoming environment, and organizing top-notch tournaments. Our goal is to be the ultimate destination for all things Pickleball in Northeast Ohio.
