Community Impact
9
New Courts
In 2024 we measured and lined 9 new pickleball courts including 4 at Northwest Rec., 3 at Northridge Middle School and 2 at the Dakota Center. Private contractors charge $500/Court. We do not charge anything, not even for the tape.
62
Donated Paddles
We collected 62 serviceable paddles from community players for use in developmental pickleball programs. Those paddles have been distributed equally to places without existing pickleball programs to help them get started. [Click to Learn more]
These programs include: Northridge Schools, Greater Dayton Rec. Center, Northwest Rec. Center, and the Dakota Center. Special thanks to management at The PickleLodge, KTC/Quail, Sportcial, the Deweese Ridgecrest Civic Association, Selkirk and to generous individuals who donated.
We can get new pickleball players started without upfront equipment cost. As always, our mission is to grow the game and do it without charge to folks who want to give America’s fastest growing game a try.
