Short-Term Goal: Fostering a Thriving Pickleball Community at CU
The immediate goal of the CU Pickleball Club is to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where players of all skill levels can come together to practice and play.
Moment Pickleball will assist and support CU Pickleball Club’s many initiatives, including:
A. Organizing Social Events and Friendly Competitions:
CU Pickleball Club is working to bring students together for social gatherings, practice sessions, and friendly tournaments. These events will provide an opportunity for players of all levels to engage with the sport in a relaxed, fun environment while improving their skills.
B. Purchasing High-Quality Equipment:
As the club grows, so does the need for quality pickleball equipment. Paddles, balls, and other necessary tools to ensure every player has access to the right equipment to enjoy and improve their game.
C. Funding Travel for Competitions:
For the Club's competitive players, traveling to regional and national tournaments is key to gaining real-world experience and representing The University of Colorado, Boulder on a larger stage.
D. Establish CU as a Force in Competitive Collegiate Pickleball:
The CU Pickleball Club also has an exciting long-term vision—to become a competitive force within the National Collegiate Pickleball Association (NCPA). The NCPA is dedicated to growing collegiate pickleball and organizing events for club-based teams. Although pickleball is not yet an NCAA-sanctioned sport, the NCPA is rapidly expanding, with over 200 universities involved in its events. By joining the NCPA, the CU Pickleball Club aims to compete at the highest level, representing the University of Colorado in regional and national tournaments.
