Born and raised in San Angelo, Texas, Lacy Schneemann was introduced to sports at an early age, with her family having a strong tennis background. She began playing tennis as a child and continued through her youth, eventually captaining the University of Southern California’s club tennis team for two years. In 2015, she started playing pickleball with her father, but it wasn’t until 2021 that she fully immersed herself in the sport, leveraging her tennis skills to make a swift transition.

Her analytical mindset, developed through her studies in aerospace engineering, has been instrumental in her strategic approach to pickleball. After earning her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California, she worked as a product design engineer at Boeing in Los Angeles, balancing her engineering career with her growing passion for pickleball. In June 2023, she transitioned to professional pickleball full-time, allowing her to dedicate more time to training and competition.

Since then, she has achieved significant success, including a double gold at the 2025 Australia Pickleball Open in both women’s and mixed doubles. Known for her agility, strategic shot placement, and excellent net coverage, Schneemann’s playing style is characterized by quick footwork and anticipation, enabling her to outmaneuver opponents effectively. She is recognized for executing precise dinks, powerful smashes, and smart defensive plays, making her a formidable presence on the court.

As of November 2025, she is ranked among the top 20 female pickleball players worldwide, with a career win rate of 53. 6% across 73 professional tournaments. Her partnership with Vivian Glozman has been particularly successful, culminating in their first women’s doubles title together at the 2025 Australia Pickleball Open, where they defeated top-seeded Allyce Jones and Tyra Black with scores of 11-7, 11-3, 7-11, 11-9.

Off the court, Schneemann continues to apply her engineering expertise, having previously worked on satellite electronics packaging at Boeing, contributing to projects that have reached space. Her background in aerospace engineering has also influenced her approach to pickleball, allowing her to analyze opponents’ playing styles and adjust strategies mid-match effectively. Looking ahead, Schneemann aims to continue her upward trajectory in professional pickleball, focusing on refining her skills and achieving further success in upcoming tournaments.
