Inside the World of Senior Pro Pickleball with Legends Beth Bellamy & Scott Moore

Today on Pickleballers, we sit down with two legends of the senior pro game: Beth Bellamy, a top-ranked 50+ women’s pro with 99 medals, multiple US Open and National titles, former WTA tennis star, and co-founder of the National Pickleball League, alongside Scott Moore, a 21-time USA Pickleball National Champion, 12-time US Open winner, Hall of Famer, and founder of Pickleball Trips. We dive into their incredible journeys from tennis to pickleball, the rise of the senior pro game, the creation of the NPL, Scott’s famous “dance timeout,” Beth’s transition to pickleball dominance, and how they stay competitive and injury-free at the highest level beyond 50. Packed with history, stories, strategy, and lessons, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about the game.
