Truckee Meadows Pickleball Club members taught beginning pickleball to 20 attendees from the Northern Nevada Big Brothers and Big Sisters program at the Boys and Girls Club Saturday, March 12, 2022.

TMPC was the recipient of a $1000 youth grant, from USA Pickleball mountain region, for paddles and equipment for teaching the youth in our area.

Everyone was excited to try out the new paddles, play games and win prizes.
