Our Story
It all started with two visionaries, Emmet and Daryl, who connected through a shared passion for pickleball and community development. A mutual friend told Emmet he needed to meet Daryl, someone making waves in the local pickleball scene. Emmet invited Daryl to take a chance on a space that, while marked by blight, was full of promise. He encouraged him to look beyond the present condition and imagine what the area could become with a bold, transformative vision. That meeting sparked the creation of a dynamic pickleball club, built not just to serve athletes but to fuel a broader mission of reshaping both the physical landscape and the opportunities available to local residents. This initiative is about more than just playing pickleball—it’s about sparking economic growth and creating a space where everyone can belong, grow, and thrive through the world’s fastest-growing sport.
