Welcome to the neighborhood’s friendliest court.
Our Story
Our journey commenced in 2021, upon my retirement from 22 years of service in the United States Navy. As I transitioned into civilian life and pondered my next steps, unexpectedly, I discovered the captivating sport of pickleball. What began as a mere hobby swiftly transformed into a crucial outlet for navigating the challenges of adapting to civilian life. Moreover, pickleball presented a unique opportunity for me to embrace my new role as a father to a young boy named Billy, affectionately known as 'The Bill.' Through this transition, I've gained insight into the profound difficulties many service members encounter. Leveraging my own experiences, I am passionately committed to supporting our veterans. 'The Bill Pickleball' embodies a vision of family and community. Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where individuals can refine their pickleball proficiency while cultivating essential life skills. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including private individual instruction, group lessons, and one-on-one drilling sessions tailored to pickleball enthusiasts of all levels.
In addition to embracing our newfound passion for pickleball, we are deeply grateful for the unwavering support and inspiration from William “Bill” Lunney and Stephanie Lunney. Their encouragement and guidance have played a pivotal role in the creation of 'The Bill' Pickleball, fostering a spirit of family and community that continues to guide our mission.
