About Mary Brascia

Mary Brascia grew up in Mission Viejo California, and she began playing pickleball in 2020 after her parents introduced her to the game. She said she was hesitant about the game at the beginning, but she became addicted and has played every day since.

Mary played in her first PPA tournament in Las Vegas in October of 2020, winning the 5.0 division. She has won multiple medals in pro singles and doubles events and has even invented her own shot, the “Mary-Go-Round,” which she hit at a Major League Pickleball event in 2022. During the 2023 season, Mary was able to obtain her first PPA silver medal at the Acrytech Atlanta Open in Women’s Singles. She credits her success to her defensive skills and scrappiness. She also loves quick-hand exchanges, as well as playing Women’s Doubles alongside her sister Maggie Brascia.
