Little Dragons Pickleball is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a simple belief: every child—regardless of age, ability, or background—deserves the chance to play, grow, and belong through pickleball. We break down barriers to create inclusive, accessible opportunities that build confidence, nurture connection, and promote lifelong wellness.
Clinics for All
We run hands-on clinics across communities, tailored for all ages and skill levels. We partner with schools, clubs, and recreation centers to make these programs accessible no matter where kids live.
Curriculum & Training
We’re building a scalable, inclusive pickleball curriculum—complete with age-appropriate drills, lesson plans, and adaptive content—so that schools and organizations can bring pickleball to their youth programs. Our coaches help shape and evolve this curriculum to remain fresh and effective.
Events & Competition
From youth tournaments to family pickleball days, we host events that emphasize growth, community, and fun over winning. These gatherings allow young players to test their skills, build relationships, and find pride in participation.
Athlete Sponsorship
Talented players should never be held back by financial constraints. We sponsor junior athletes—covering gear, tournament fees, and coaching—so passion and potential can thrive.
Coach Development
Through workshops, certifications, and guidance, we equip coaches to teach inclusively and meaningfully. We’re proud to collaborate with organizations like Special Olympics to expand access to adaptive pickleball and consult with top-tier professionals in the game.
In just one year, we launched our first 6-week season of Little Dragons Academy and saw overwhelming demand. Today, all of our camps are running at full capacity. We’ve partnered with major indoor facilities and are expanding into new regions—including international footholds.
But this is just the beginning. With your support, we’ll continue to grow, reach more kids, and deepen our impact—one paddle, one child, one community at a time.
