Why Choose Ready Set Pickle?
Pickleball isn’t just fun—it’s a game changer for kids. At Ready Set Pickle, we use this fast-growing, inclusive sport as a tool to build much more than athletic skills. Our program teaches Tucson’s elementary and middle school students life lessons they’ll carry well beyond the court.
