Give Back & “Play It Forward”
ATP loves to give back and “play it forward” by hosting events and executing campaigns in support of other charitable organizations. Our pickleball community is a fabulous bunch of people with generous, kind hearts.
Get involved, help out and touch someone’s life!

ATP was thrilled to organize the “Smart Shots” Pickleball Social in collaboration with ABC of Westport. It was an excellent opportunity to bring together our generous pickleball community and supporters of this cause. Together, through this event, we ALL helped make a meaningful difference in the lives of the young men of color participating in ABC of Westport’s program.
ATP visits Botswana in 2022 and stops off at an after school program to deliver paddles and balls and introduce pickleball to the children. We had to improvise and use chairs as a net. The kids loved it, just listen to their laughter!
