Pickleburg.com was created in 2013 as a vehicle to help promote and grow the game of pickleball in Williamsburg and James City County, Virginia. Today, we are connected to players in 26 states plus local players of all ages enjoying first rate dedicated courts throughout our residential communities.
What Have We Been Up-To Since 2013?
- Sharing news and information about the game, the rules, and the gear.
- Promoting the game via print and digital media, interviews, podcasts, and presentations.
- Encouraging our player community to share their passion for the game with others.
- Engaging with our community leaders, elected representatives and Parks & Recreation leaders/staff.
- Participating in Public Forums exploring the future growth of the game and the projected venue requirements.
- Partnering with vendors and manufacturers to provide equipment support for organizations with limited resources.
- Supporting corporate team building and wellness programming activities.
- Teaching via professionally led introductory clinics, private lessons, and coaching.
- Consulting with communities and organizations.
