Lexington Pickleball Club Reaches 1,000 Members, Promoting Community Connection and Healthy Living
The Lexington Pickleball Club (LPC), founded in October 2023, is thrilled to announce that it has reached a remarkable milestone of 1,000 members. This achievement highlights the growing popularity of pickleball in the Lexington area and the Club’s commitment to fostering an active and connected community.
“Reaching 1,000 members in such a short time is a testament to the vibrant community spirit in Lexington and the universal appeal of pickleball,” said P.K. Shiu, President of LPC. “We’re proud to provide a welcoming environment where adults of all skill levels can stay active, make friends, and experience the joy of this amazing sport.”
Founded by a dedicated team of nine volunteer board members, LPC offers a wide array of resources and activities, including:
- Organized Play Opportunities: Weekly open play sessions for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players, offered by level and featuring a volunteer Court Manager who facilitates fun, fair, safe play.
- Skill Development: Clinics, lessons, and workshops led by experienced players and certified instructors.
Team Tournaments: Friendly competition in a team environment for all levels. - Social Events: Gatherings that encourage camaraderie both on and off the court including Open Houses for newcomers and advanced players alike.
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the country, combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. Its low-impact nature and easy-to-learn rules make it an excellent way for individuals of all ages to stay active and have fun. Beyond its physical benefits, pickleball fosters strong social connections, helping players build friendships and strengthen community bonds.
LPC is particularly grateful for our working partnership with the Town of Lexington Recreation Committee and staff and the staff at Grace Chapel. Working with both of these organizations, LPC has secured court space to offer group pickleball play sessions year-round right here in Lexington.
