About The Bloomington Pickleball Club

The Bloomington Pickleball Club was established with a mission to promote recreational and competitive play while creating a positive and inclusive experience for all. From humble beginnings, our club has flourished through collaboration and partnership, particularly with the City of Bloomington's Parks and Recreation Department. Together, we have worked tirelessly to enhance public courts, organize events, and introduce pickleball to new enthusiasts across the community. As we look to the future, our commitment to growing pickleball in Bloomington remains steadfast. We envision a city where pickleball is not just a sport but a way of life, where players of all skill levels come together to compete, socialize, and forge lasting connections.

The Bloomington Pickleball Club is proud to recognize the remarkable contributions of its members with the presentation of well-deserved awards for the year 2023.
