Developing Tomorrow's Talent, TODAY!
We support the growth of junior pickleball in Southern California by integrating existing public and private clubs, teams, and organizations into a unified network. In a region where access to junior Pickleball resources and development pathways is fragmented, US JPO fosters opportunities for all youth players, from entry-level participants to advanced competitors.
By connecting organizations, supporting shared events, and amplifying participation in local leagues, clinics and tournaments, we strengthen the talent pipeline for young athletes and establish the first nonprofit alliance dedicated to the advancement of junior pickleball throughout Southern California.
Connecting youth, families, and junior pickleball clubs.
Growing together on and off the court.
Making play fun and motivating young athletes to improve and excel.
The US JPO promotes junior pickleball among paddle and racquet sport clubs, schools and religious groups. We believe in fostering a love for the game through community engagement, leadership, education, and friendly competition.
Don't have youth pickleball community? Give us a call, our team of sponsors can help you find, train and certify players and instructors. We can also help you organize and acquire the equipment needed to start and grow a viable private or community youth pickleball program.
