Pickleball Forward Foundation

Our mission is to empower youth and build community through accessible and high quality pickleball programs that celebrate the joy and power of play.

Our organization offers after-school programs, summer camps, and tournaments that bring people together through the joy of pickleball. Our team is deeply passionate about both youth development and pickleball—and nothing energizes us more than watching kids discover pickleball, build confidence, and have a whole lot of fun along the way.

Pickleball has this amazing way of bringing people together. Our programs create spaces where kids connect with peers and learn from their coaches, and make possible families playing pickleball across generations. We work hard to remove barriers by offering programs at convenient locations and times. We also keep costs affordable so that financial constraints don't keep any kid off the court. At our core, we believe in the joy and power of play. Pickleball is fun, and that matters. When kids are having a great time, they're more engaged, more willing to try new things, and more likely to develop lifelong healthy habits.
