Our Mission is to encourage the growth and enjoyment of pickleball by providing information, instruction, and organized opportunities to play for all skill levels. The Club aims to promote a pickleball experience that is friendly, safe, and fun while still providing for competitive play and the opportunity to improve one's game. The Club will actively support efforts to create and maintain courts for use by players in Bloomington Normal.
