OUR CLUB
Welcome to Exeter Pickleball Club! Our club was officially created on 13th March 2023, and since then we have introduced the sport to over 350 people.
​
​
We are a friendly and inclusive community welcoming members of all ages and skill levels.
Our members age from 8 to 88 years old.
Our qualified coaches are also on-hand to offer instruction to help improve your game.
Beyond the court, we host a variety of social events, creating lasting friendships.
While we love the social side of pickleball, we also embrace healthy competition. Many of our members have attended and won medals in tournaments across the UK including the English Nationals and the English Open.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
We are committed to promoting physical fitness, mental wellbeing, and social connection by making pickleball accessible and enjoyable for everyone in the Exeter community. Through quality instruction, organised play, and community events, we aim to grow the sport while building lasting friendships and supporting personal development.
​
Inclusivity - We welcome players regardless of age, experience, or background, creating an environment where everyone feels valued and supported.​
​
Excellence - We provide high-quality coaching and organised events that help our members reach their full potential.​
​
Community - We believe sport builds bridges, and we actively foster connections that extend beyond the court into our broader Exeter community and its surrounds.​
​
Opportunity - We offer a wide range of playing opportunities across the Exeter area, ensuring members can enjoy pickleball at times and locations that suit their needs.​
​
Ambition - We are committed to fundraising for a purpose-built pickleball facility and hosting major events that will establish Exeter as the premier pickleball destination in the South West.​
​
Fun - Whilst we take skill development seriously, we never lose sight of the joy and laughter that makes pickleball special.
