ABOUT

 Mission

Our mission is to provide a healthy and fun recreational activity for Valley County residents and visitors of all ages through the sport of pickleball.

 Vision

Our vision for the future is to ensure  the availability of affordable recreational and competitive pickleball play opportunities for all skill levels; and encourage players to reach their full potential through coaching, skill development and organized play.  

 History

The Valley County Pickleball Club was formed in 2011 with seven members and by 2024 had grown to 240 members. In 2020, the Club determined the need for an outdoor pickleball facility to serve the local community. Through vision, tenacity, fundraising and planning among board members and club members—in partnership with Valley County—surveys, goals, and blueprints were developed and the courts were on a path to construction. In the summer of 2024, nine courts became a reality and opened to the public with great fanfare and celebration.
