Mission Statement
The Southern Pickleball Academy is a formal public charity dedicated to the growth of pickleball by investing in our students, communities, and municipalities while fostering the valuable life skills of integrity, fair play, character, honesty, strategy, patience, and sportsmanship.
Description
Many schools don’t have, nor can they afford good pickleball equipment; some are stringing up old badminton nets from one side of the gym to another and using heavy wooden paddles. Others don’t have any equipment at all. Friends, together we can change this situation.
How can you help?
Your sponsorship will enable a school to add pickleball to its physical education curriculum using proper equipment. We will source and order quality equipment and deliver it to those coaches who have made a commitment to bring pickleball to their students. And our volunteers will follow up at each school, assisting the coaches and providing other resources as needed.
To date, we have donated almost $10,000 worth of equipment and helped several schools begin the process of growing their own pickleball clubs.
Supporting school pickleball programs truly demonstrates a commitment to our local community. It creates a positive image for your business, showing that you care about the development and well-being of the youth in the area. This can foster a sense of goodwill and loyalty among students’ families and others in our community.
