What is The Paddle Project?

The Paddle Project is a purpose‑driven pickleball charity that equips underserved communities with essential pickleball resources. With bold goals to donate 200,000 paddles, coach 10,000 players, and build 10 courts by 2030, this initiative is working to transform access to the world’s fastest-growing sport, beloved for its inclusivity and social benefits, by providing paddles, nets, training, and court infrastructure to communities around the world. The Paddle Project not only promotes physical activity, giving, and positive community connection.

Founded by friends and pickleball entrepreneurs Aaron Reznik and Matt Slowinski, partnered with Montclair Pickleball and other leading pickleball organizations, The Paddle Project aims to make a big impact IN the pickleball world, and ON the world through pickleball.

There are multiple ways to support the Paddle Project’s vision: donate paddles or nets, sponsor coaching sessions, back court‑construction efforts, or contribute financially. Every paddle you share, lesson you fund, or court you help build directly expands access to pickleball and the life‑affirming experiences it creates. Together, we can ensure that pickleball becomes a vehicle for empowerment, around the world, in every community.
