The Michiana Pickleball Club (MPC)
  We have seen pickleball bring together diverse groups and make them the best of friends. We have seen pickleball keep seniors active and healthy. We have seen pickleball thrive in the school systems. ...and we have seen pickleball bring families together in one of the only sports that everyone in the family can play and be competitive. The Michiana Pickleball Club was created as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization to create opportunities to engage and bring together the WHOLE FAMILY and the WHOLE COMMUNITY in the benefits of pickleball.
