USA Pickleball is launching the official charitable arm of the organization: USA Pickleball Serves.
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, according to a press release.
“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 CEO, in a prepared statement. “USA Pickleball Serves is a platform for the pickleball community to rally together and implement change through promoting, teaching, and growing the sport.”
USA Pickleball Serves is hosting an introductory pickleball clinic at Arizona Athletic Grounds for over 120 local students. The clinic is Tuesday, April 2, which is just one the day before the USA Pickleball Golden Ticket tournament in Mesa.
“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!”
