Youth Pickleball

Serving Up Fun and Fitness!

Pickleball isn’t just for adults – it’s the fastest-growing sport in America for all ages! The North Jefferson YMCA’s Youth Pickleball Program is a coed program that introduces kids to this exciting, fast-paced game in a fun, supportive environment. Our program is designed to teach the fundamentals of pickleball, improve coordination, and build confidence on and off the court.

Why Pickleball?

Pickleball is a fun, inclusive sport that’s easy to learn but provides a challenge for all skill levels. It promotes physical fitness, hand-eye coordination, and strategic thinking. Best of all, it’s a game that kids can play for life!
