Ready Set Pickle + Oro Valley Community Center

Afterschool Pickleball for Tucson Kids in Grades K–8

Building Confidence, Teamwork, and Character—One Game at a Time

Why Join the Community Center Program?

Pickleball is more than a sport—it’s a fun, accessible way for kids to learn essential life skills while staying active. At our OV Community Center sessions, your child will:

  • Build Character: Learn respect, confidence, and resilience in a supportive environment.

  • Practice Teamwork: Communicate, collaborate, and celebrate with others on and off the court.

  • Gain Conflict Resolution Skills: Handle disagreements with positivity and respect.

  • Develop Discipline: Strengthen focus, determination, and follow-through.

All sessions are led by IVP-cleared, SafeSport-informed coaches who understand youth development.

How It Works

Registration is simple—just sign up through the Community Center’s website. Your child will attend one session per week, following the school-year schedule. We provide all the equipment, so there’s nothing extra to buy, and kids are grouped by age and ability to ensure safe, skill-matched, and fun play every time.

What to Expect

Each week includes:

  • Warm-up activities to get kids moving

  • Skill drills tailored to their age and ability

  • Fun games and doubles matches

  • A closing “team huddle” to reinforce a life skill theme for the week

Safety First

Your child’s safety and well-being are our top priorities:

  • All staff trained in SafeSport best practices

  • Secure check-in/out with parent ID required at pick-up
