The mission of USA Pickleball Serves is to make a positive national impact through the sport of pickleball by supporting community initiatives like court enhancements, educational youth programming and inclusive play.
“It is our pleasure to launch the charitable branch of USA Pickleball – USA Pickleball Serves. This is an opportunity to serve communities around the country on and off the court” said Mike Nealy, USA Pickleball Chief Executive Officer. “USA Pickleball Serves is a platform for the pickleball community to rally together and implement change through promoting, teaching, and growing the sport.”
In conjunction with the announcement and beginning of National Pickleball Month in April, USA Pickleball will host an introductory pickleball clinic at Arizona Athletic Grounds for over 120 local students. The clinic will be held on April 2, the day before the USA Pickleball Golden Ticket tournament in Mesa, followed by several exhibition matches with professional players.
“Through USA Pickleball Serves there are countless opportunities to be a game that gives back,” said Brenda Puga, USA Pickleball Director of Community Relations. “Pickleball is for everyone, and this initiative allows us to promote the sport of pickleball and connect with communities by hosting clinics, enhancing courts and more. All while having fun!”
