Pickleball Youth
Pickleball is a unique sport. It has the characteristics of several other sports, but merges them together to become its own unique activity. Pickleball is a sport that thrives on acceptance, patience, comradery, laughs, and fun. Carrying these qualities into the competitive realm of tournaments has made for a unique sporting environment. Our youth athletes are competitive, but compassionate. Maintaining the welcoming spirit of pickleball is an important lesson that we hope our youth athletes can take to heart, and apply them on and off the pickleball court.
Education is an important part of our youth’s success in the future. By offering scholarships, the PLSF will encourage our young adolescents to strive for more in life, through competition and through higher education.
Pickleball Legacy Scholarship Foundation is a branch of the New Age Youth Sports Scholarship Organization (NAYSSO). For details on NAYSSO, please click here.
OUR MISSON
Our mission is to promote the love and interest of all people for pickleball by promoting and developing sporting events and offering scholarship awards to youth athletes; teach all people, and especially youth, ways to enjoy pickleball throughout a lifetime; promote educational opportunities for youth that participate in activities promoted by PLSF by giving scholarships to approved and accredited educational institutions.
