Jackie Kawamoto plays on the PPA Tour with her twin sister Jade Kawamoto, who is also her frequent doubles partner. She was born and raised in Maui, Hawaii but now lives in Indianapolis, where she works for the NCAA as an Assistant Coordinator of Championships and Alliances.
Kawamoto went to the University of Dayton, along with her twin sister, where she played tennis and graduated with a degree in Psychology. Her dad introduced her and her sister to pickleball in 2019, and they accelerated quickly in the ranks thanks to their athleticism and previous tennis experience.
Outside of playing professional tournaments, Jade and Jackie volunteer their time hosting tournaments to support Alzheimer’s research
