Elevate Pickleball

Our Pickleball Programs

We host three distinct pathways to get involved, designed to serve different ages, abilities, and communities within MCC:

1. Friday Night Open Play

Everyone is welcome | Free to the community

Friday evenings are for open play—no signup required! Come solo, bring a friend, or invite your entire small group. This is an easy on-ramp for newcomers to the game, with paddles and balls provided for anyone who needs them.

What to Expect:

• Friendly, casual community atmosphere

• Open courts for new and experienced players

• Loaner equipment available

• Rally scoring offered for groups of 4+ for fast, dynamic play

• A space to connect, laugh, and unwind at the end of the week

Whether you’ve never held a paddle or you play daily, you’ll feel at home here.

2. College Life Pickleball

Sundays • 5:00–6:00 PM

College-aged students are invited to a weekly hour of fun, movement, and fellowship on the courts. It’s a great way to decompress, make friends, and build Christian community during a formative season of life.

3. MCC Families & Friends Lessons

Small-group learning • By appointment

For families, kids, and friends interested in learning the game, we offer small-group lessons for groups of four or fewer. These lessons are a wonderful way for parents to engage their kids, invite neighbors, and share the love of Christ through relationship and play.

As part of our MCC Communities mission to help parents raise families of faith, Elevate Pickleball provides a practical opportunity to:

• Build family memories

• Grow intergenerational community

• Invite friends from outside the church

• Introduce kids and teens to additional programs and ministries at MCC

Pickleball becomes a doorway to discipleship, hospitality, and evangelism—right in our own neighborhood.
