Volunteer
Why Volunteer?
The Palo Alto Pickleball Club is run entirely by player-volunteers. Everything you enjoy at Mitchell Park, from Getting Started sessions and clinics to round robins, nets, and potlucks, happens because a member gave an hour or two of their time..
No experience is needed. Pick a role that fits your schedule, try it once, and stay as long as you like. Volunteering is the fastest way to meet people at the courts.
