Welcome to Pickleball at the YMCA

Pickleball is taking over the nation! Discover the joy of pickleball at the YMCA of Columbia-Willamette! With programs available at multiple locations, we make it easy to get involved in this fast-growing, community-driven sport. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, our spaces and programs are designed for fun, fitness, and connection.

All ages can play, and you don't have to be a mega-athlete to compete. The sport was first invented in 1965 as a backyard game for children on Bainbridge Island in Washington state but now it has become a popular sport for all ages.

This mix of tennis and ping-pong rules will have you raving to all your friends. Come and join the pickleball fun at the Y! Pickleball takes a few minutes to learn but a lifetime to master. Develop your focus, timing, and execution while having fun and getting a great workout.
