Pickleball is growing fast and Amarillo’s youth are ready to play.

We, the undersigned, believe Amarillo, Texas needs organized youth pickleball opportunities, such as tournaments, leagues, and clinics just for kids and teens. Right now, there are no consistent, youth-focused options for players under 18 in our area, even though more and more young people are picking up a paddle.

Creating events for younger players would help grow the local pickleball scene, keep kids active, and create a stronger community.
