Build the next generation of pickleball.
GPA partners with colleges, universities, and schools to prepare coaches and student leaders, develop players, and build inclusive pickleball programs designed around each campus, institution, and community.
Institutional programs
Build a program designed to grow with your community.
Colleges and universities are becoming important environments for developing the next generation of pickleball coaches, players, and leaders. GPA works with institutions to shape programs around their goals, participants, staff, facilities, campus culture, and existing pickleball community.
