Upward Pickleball is a community league for youth from 5th to 9th grade.  Your child will learn pickleball fundamentals while also building character, increasing their self-esteem, and learning how to be part of a team.  Every child, regardless of their abilities, will get equal playing time in every game and will be cheered on by the coaches, line judges, and fans in the stands.  Because we believe that what is happening inside of your child is even more important than what is happening on the court.  Wins and losses will be forgotten - but character lasts forever.
