John Cincola is a professional pickleball player competing on the PPA Tour in men's singles, men's doubles, and mixed doubles. He has established himself as a notable competitor in the rapidly growing sport of professional pickleball.

I grew up in Moline Illinois, played Basketball, Tennis and Golf as my main sport growing up. In High School I decided to focus on Tennis and went on to play Div 1 Tennis at the University of Illinois Chicago. After playing I turned to coaching Tennis full time mainly working with high level Junior players. In 2018 I was the Introduced to Pickleball through my parents. It was immediate addiction and there hasn’t been a week that’s gone by since then that I haven’t picked up a paddle. I’ve won 20+ Pro medals and have played every season of MLP except one. Recently my wife and twin 8 year old daughters made a move to Austin Texas for better weather and better opportunities in Pickleball and we’re loving it! My favorite off court hobby is Disc Golf.
