2025 APC Ambassadors

APC ambassadors represent the things we love about pickleball and uphold the SPIRIT vales of Pickleball Australia. 

Each year, ambassadors are selected and approved via a selection committee and endorsed by the previous years ambassadors.

Ambassadors are responsible for assisting with the promotion and planning of the APC; sharing their knowledge of local community and their passion for pickleball to ensure all participants and their guests have a wonderful experience at the APC. 

 

Our 2025 Trilogy Funds Australian Pickleball Championships ambassadors are: 

Deb Simpkins

 

"I’m thrilled to be an Ambassador for the APC. Pickleball truly is my happy place! A cancer diagnosis meant surgery and chemotherapy during which I played when I could. The oncology staff often commented on how well I was doing and they all knew about this strange named sport by the time I’d finished my treatment. This game, and more so it’s incredible community, has helped me so much and I love to promote it as more than just a sport.. it is healing and life expanding.  I’m excited to be a part of the APC - it’s going to be huge!" 

Martin Simpkins

 

"I'm truly honoured to be an ambassador for APC 2025. Pickleball is the most inclusive sport I've ever played. All ages and skill levels are catered for.

Can't wait for the APC. It's going to be epic".

 

Dion Reweti

 

"Ultimately, being a para pickleball ambassador means I am contributing to a larger movement that promotes fun, health, wellness, and equality through sport.

My intention is to inspire para-athletes of all abilities to participate in the 2025 APC".

Shannon Burr

 

"I am stoked to be an ambassador for the 2025 APC. I love this sport and I've loved watching it grow. I'm especially excited to have the APC on the Gold Coast, becuase I know that all of my friends and my club will be there playing and supporting each other".
