About Us

Mission and What We Do

WePickle empowers communities through accessible and inclusive Pickleball education, fostering fitness, teamwork, and community engagement for a healthier, more connected society.

We offer after school enrichment pickleball instruction, private and group lessons, adult and youth clinics along with organizing and hosting tournaments and leagues in the Charleston, SC area.

Program Overview

WePickle is an organization committed to fostering community wellness through the sport of pickleball. Dedicated to inclusivity, we specialize in providing top-notch pickleball instruction to underserved communities and youth groups. Our mission is to bridge gaps in recreational opportunities and make pickleball accessible to everyone. By offering accessible and expert coaching, WePickle strives to empower participants with valuable life skills while fostering a sense of community and wellness. Together, we aim to make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals who may otherwise lack access to such enriching recreational experiences.

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It’s adaptability makes it an ideal choice for individuals of diverse abilities and ages. This rapid growing sport has transcended traditional boundaries and has become a symbol of inclusivity and community. The essence of inclusivity in sports lies in breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for everyone to participate. WePickle is committed to serving underserved communities and aligning with this principle.

The WePickle program is based on a full circle, collaborative model. Our partnerships include the Charleston County School District, Charleston County Parks and Recreation, the city of North Charleston, the City of Charleston Recreation, and local businesses and nonprofits that share our vision for empowering individuals. The collaborative model between WePickle and county and city programs represents a dynamic partnership aimed at fostering community engagement and healthy living. By integrating the expertise of our pickleball program with the extensive reach of county and city programs, the initiative is able to provide accessible and comprehensive pickleball education to residents of all ages. WePickle brings specialized coaching and skill development, while county and city programs contribute infrastructure, promotional support, and the integration of pickleball into broader recreational offerings. This synergy not only enhances the quality of pickleball instruction but also ensures a more inclusive and diverse participation, promoting the sport’s growth as an integral part of the local community’s recreational fabric.
