Allyce Jones

Allyce Jones might be the most decorated multi-sport athlete on the PPA Tour. In high school, she won two tennis state championships and a volleyball state championship while also earning Utah Volleyball MVP honors. She went on to play volleyball at Utah Valley University as a libero, where she set defensive records, won Conference Defensive Player of the Year, UVU Female Athlete of the Year, and the delightfully named Crowd Pleaser of the Year award. After college, she became a teacher and volleyball coach, winning four state championships and earning NFHS Coach of the Year for the West Region. She also owned a volleyball club with 250 athletes.

Jones started playing pickleball casually at her high school gym with family and fellow teachers before getting serious about drilling and competing. With her athletic background and work ethic, she quickly dominated local tournaments and turned pro on the PPA Tour in 2022. She's become a fan favorite for her fiery competitiveness, infectious enthusiasm, and signature move: diving and rolling on the court to return balls that most players would let go. Allyce and her husband Ryan have three children and live in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
