The North Country Pickleball Club hosted the Serving Up Wellness Pickleball Tournament and raised $5,000 for the Canton Potsdam Hospital Guild in Potsdam, NY. It was day full of friendly competition and lots of joy. Our club refers to each other as "a family with a big heart."

Over the course of the last two years, we have supported our local children's museum, food pantry, animal shelter, and breast cancer survivors. We love a good game, but what we love even more is building our community and creating new friendships. Our club is built on inclusivity and kindness. 

When you come to our courts, you not only hear the distinct sound of the ball on the court, but lots of laughter, because at the end of the day, it's the not the wins or the losses you will take home with you. You are going to take home the smile that greeted you, the jokes you were told, or the listening ear that was lent. We are blessed to have this crazy, beautiful family. If you're ever in upstate NY, look us up on PlayTime Scheduler and come play! I promise you will hear us laughing before you see us. 

Pickle on!
