The University of Arizona Pickleball Club was established in October 2022, and we have already grown to more than 300 members. Currently, UA Pickleball is ranked #17 in the nation! Our mission is to cultivate a thriving pickleball culture on our campus and in the greater Tucson area, inspiring a healthier and more active lifestyle for all. What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to making a difference. Hand in hand with Tucson Area Pickleball, we contribute to the development and preservation of pickleball courts, ensuring that this exciting sport thrives. Moreover, we collaborate closely with ALL IN Youth Pickleball, a non-profit organization that teaches pickleball to underserved children and develops core values such as commitment, discipline, goal setting, sportsmanship and teamwork.
Can you help us get to Vegas by making a gift today?
Next month, we are sending four members to Las Vegas to participate in the Nevada DUPR Collegiate Regional Tournament. We will compete against other universities like ASU, UCLA and the national runners-up Utah Tech, in an MLP format consisting of 4 games (men's doubles, women's doubles and two mixed doubles games) playing to 21. If our team wins regionals, we'll receive a scholarship from DUPR, as well as an invitation to the DUPR Collegiate National Tournament held in Georgia where we will compete against some of the best college pickleball players in the country!
