Our non profit was established in 2018. Through hard work, contributions from community, our membership, and grants, we were able to build six dedicated courts on town property in Buena Vista, Colorado. Our goal is to provide indoor and outdoor courts in Southern Chaffee County in the Poncha Springs/Salida area, as well as continue to support our ourtreach programs and cover operating expenses. We have a membership of over 430 people currently and serve people from 8 to well over 80. This is an affordable way for our community to stay happy socially, healthy physically, and community connected.
Peak to Peak Pickleball Club, as a volunteer and non-profit organization, is dedicated to promoting and facilitating the sport of Pickleball in Chaffee County and the surrounding area, thereby:
-Providing collegial, social interaction with people of all ages and abilities
-Encouraging the physical, mental, and social benefits of an active lifestyle
-Providing opportunities for the continued development of all players in a collegial and sportsmanlike environment
-Working to expand facilities as needed
In 1965, Joel Pritchard and Bill Bell, of Washington State, grabbed some various sports equipment from the garage and created a makeshift game for the family that eventually evolved to the game that is known as Pickleball. The game eventually found it's way to the Colorado mountain towns in the Heart Of The Rockies, and after years of makeshift play of our own, a non profit was formed in 2018. We have public courts in Buena Vista, Poncha Springs, and Salida. Our membership is filled with wonderful players that are a blend of recreational and competitive. We have an aspect of our club that continuously works to give back to community. Our annual tournaments (our main source of fundraising in the past) have brought many visitors to the Chaffee County Communities and, in turn, many $$ to our communities. As our club continues to grow in numbers (over 430 as of this writing), and the sport of pickleball continues to grow in popularity, we are in need of more space with dedicated courts both indoor and outdoor activity. Contributions to our fund would serve to help fund a facility such as this, as well as support our outreach work in our Chaffee County communities and cover our business expenses . The vision is that the indoor space could serve as a multi use space, for our communities, as well. When looking for affordable fun for you and/or your friends and family, think Peak To Peak Pickleball Club. We are filled with gratitude for your support.
