Building confidence, friendships, and lifelong skills through America's fastest-growing sport

Welcome to First Paddle™

Where kids discover the amazing world of pickleball and so much more!

Our high-energy programs bring together the excitement of America's fastest-growing sport with meaningful mentorship that helps young players ages 8-14 grow stronger, healthier, and more confident. From their first serve to their winning shots, kids learn from our awesome certified pickleball pros and caring mentors in an environment that's all about having fun while building lasting skills.

We believe pickleball is more than just a game – it's a pathway to personal growth. That's why we weave important life lessons about respect, responsibility, integrity, communication, perseverance, and sportsmanship into every session. Players leave our courts not just with better backhands, but with newfound confidence, lasting friendships, and valuable skills they'll carry with them everywhere they go. At First Paddle, every child has the chance to shine, grow, and discover just how capable they truly are.

The First Paddle clinic was an excellent opportunity for my children to receive specific instruction on the fundamentals of playing pickleball. The instructors (the coach and those assisting) patiently explained, demonstrated, and corrected. Although my children were not new to pickleball, the coaching they received dramatically improved their abilities and renewed their desire to play more often.
