    🎉 Big Win for BPC: Official Selkirk Sponsorship Announced!

    We’re thrilled to share some fantastic news with our Bloomington Pickleball Club (BPC) community — we’ve officially been sponsored by Selkirk Sport, one of the premier names in pickleball! This partnership brings a major boost to our club’s mission of growing the sport and supporting players of all skill levels.


    🏓 What’s Included in the Sponsorship?

    Thanks to this partnership, BPC has received a fully loaded Selkirk Demo Kit, valued at over $1,400 — all at no cost to the club! The kit includes:

    • 🥇 Top-tier demo paddles: LUXX, Vanguard Power Air, AMPED, and SLK models
    • 🎾 Pro S1 balls: Four 12-packs for club play and demos
    • 🧢 Selkirk performance hats: For players and giveaways
    • 🎨 Stickers and vinyl banners: To represent Selkirk and boost club branding

    This means club members will get to try out premium Selkirk paddles during open play, clinics, and events — and find the perfect paddle before they buy.


    🧑‍🏫 Meet Coach Dave Martin – Selkirk Advocate & BPC Pickleball Champion

    A big shoutout goes to Coach Dave Martin, Selkirk Advocate and a driving force behind our club’s growth. Coach Dave coordinated directly with Selkirk to secure the sponsorship and will be leading paddle demos and providing equipment insights during training sessions.

    As a certified pickleball coach and passionate educator, Dave brings experience, energy, and now, exclusive Selkirk access to our members. You’ll see him at the courts helping players find the best equipment for their game.


    🤝 How This Sponsorship Came Together

    This exciting milestone was made possible through the combined efforts of Coach Dave Martin and a BPC Co-founder, who collaborated closely with the Selkirk team to align our club with their mission of “elevating the game.”

    By demonstrating BPC’s commitment to growing pickleball at the local level and building an inclusive, active community, Selkirk recognized the value in supporting our club.

    We even brought home demo paddles, made national connections, and participated in live Q&A sessions with pros and major brands.

    This year promises to be even bigger, and with a few complimentary passes donated by Triple Crown Sports, we’ll be organizing a group of BPC members to attend together.
