Celebrating Our Volunteers – People Who Make a Difference!
Volunteer with Pelham Pickleball
Pickleball in Pelham runs on more than paddles — it runs on people. The Pelham Pickleball program thrives because of neighbors who lend a hand, share their time, and help create a welcoming, active community for all ages.
The Pelham Pickleball Director, Lynne Hildreth is always building small volunteer teams to support activities throughout the year, including:
- Tournaments and special events
- Youth clinics and camps
- Welcoming and assisting beginner players
- Fundraising efforts
- Promotion and community outreach
There are no long meetings and no big-time commitments — just shared effort that keeps the courts, programs, and pickleball community strong, organized, and fun. Whether you can help once in a while or on a regular basis, there’s a place for you.
