History
History
Pickleball was introduced to the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 2012. We have grown from two lined tennis courts to a 12 dedicated outdoor court complex, 11 additional dedicated courts at four other sites, 11 lined public tennis courts, and 23 indoor courts. We have 800 players across the coast ranging in age from 10 to 90. One hundred fifteen players are Veterans. Pickleball is in the physical education curriculum of a middle school, junior high school, and a junior college. We are vigorously working with various local school districts to advance the sport. Numerous Mississippi Gulf Coast players are medal winners in tournaments nationwide. We are proud of how far we have come. We welcome you to join us and experience the joy of playing pickleball.
