Allyce Jones has always loved sports. In high school, she played softball, won two tennis state championships and a volleyball state championship, and was awarded the Utah Volleyball MVP.
Jones went on to play volleyball at Utah Valley University where she set several defensive records and won several awards as a libero— Conference Defensive Player of the Year, UVU Female Athlete of the Year, and UVU Crowd Pleaser of the Year. Following her college career, she became a teacher and volleyball coach. She won four state championships, won the NFHS Coach of the Year for the West Region of the United States, and also owned her own volleyball club with 250 athletes.
Jones began playing pickleball at her high school gym with family and fellow faculty members. Then, she started drilling and practicing every day! With her athletic background and work ethic, it didn’t take her long to win local tournaments and make a name for herself.
In 2022, Jones became a touring pro on the PPA Tour. She is a crowd favorite for her fiery competitiveness, infectious enthusiasm, and her willingness – and ability – to return balls by diving and rolling on the court!
Allyce and her husband, Ryan, have three children and reside in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
