In my past life, I have been a rancher, a teacher, an author, and a business owner.

Our organization is poised to do even more for it’s membership. More courts, more chances to play at all levels and more social events are currently in the works. I’m in charge of the membership committee and welcome those of you who are willing to help me with our goals.

Marcie Moody: Member At Large  Appointee 2024

My background was in the financial world for almost 30 years. I then worked in the

medical arena as assistant for Chiropractic & Optometry Offices.

I was a member of the Prescott Noon Lioness Club for several years. As a member of

the Club, I was nominated to the positions of Vice President & then President. The Club

was involved in many fundraisers for the Prescott area.

My experience with PPA goes back to the very beginning when there weren’t any

courts. I attended City & County meetings to secure approval for their creation. At that

time, I was taking lessons with Bob Atherton at Willow Baptist Church along with many

other beginners.

Since that time, I’ve been a volunteer for numerous tournaments, social get togethers &

promotion of the game of Pickleball. I was also involved with 2 tournaments that took

place at the Event Center in PV many years ago. In the past I took part in creation of

the Strategic Plan in 2017 as Member at Large on the PPA Board.

The creation of PPA was a joint effort with the City of Prescott, Yavapai County & many

dedicated people. It’s incredible to see how the Association has grown & become a part

of so many peoples’ lives in such a positive way.

I’m glad to be a part of PPA creating an atmosphere & comfort level that allows anyone

to become a pickleball player to the best of their ability.

PJ Janik is the newest Member At Large and member of the Board. PJ is a native of Arizona, a Prescott resident since 1996 and graduate of both Phoenix College and Arizona State University. While attending college, he played tennis for Phoenix College. PJ’s prior life before Pickleball was in law enforcement which provided him the opportunity to attend the FBI Nat’l Academy and also become a certified Physical Fitness instructor. PJ credits his development from a 2.5 player to a 3.5 plus player to Rick Bothell’s patient instruction and being a member of the Prescott Pickleball Association. PJ has played and medaled in Men’s Senior Doubles and Men’s Senior Singles tournaments. He has also attended a local basic Referee School taught by none other than Doug Seefeld! PJ’s goal as a Member of Large is to encourage membership recruitment, engagement and sportsmanship. His favorite mantra comes from a past PPAPresident, Roger Wolfe, who always used to end the newsletter by saying “Remember, it’s just Pickleball.”
