Leigh Waters

A lawyer by trade, Leigh is a fierce competitor on the court and in the courtroom. She alongside her daughter Anna Leigh fell in love with pickleball after Hurricane Irma forced them to relocate to her parents' home in Pennsylvania. After the storm, they moved back to Florida and have dedicated their lives to pickleball. Leigh has racked up impressive wins as a player and now as a coach. She spent the 2024 season coaching the MLP New Jersey 5s, leading them to be Mid-Season Champions and end the regular season as the No. 1 team in the league. She returned to playing at the end of 2024 with her daughter after injuries, still showcasing her aggressive playing style and contagious enthusiasm for the game.
