A HISTORY OF "FIRSTS"...

A history of "firsts"...

Discover the milestones that set us apart within our first year:

• First Certified Instructors: We proudly became the inaugural professionally certified pickleball instructors in the greater Michiana area, helping to bring a new level of play to many of our community's players.
  
  

• Pioneers of Tournament-Style Drills: H2 Pickleball pioneered the fusion of drills into a full-fledged pickleball tournament format. We're not just instructors; we're innovators shaping the future of pickleball training.

• Dedicated Pickleball-Only Facility: Breaking new ground, we are the first in the Michiana area to offer a dedicated pickleball-only facility designed from the ground up for pickleball, and accessible to both members and non-members alike. Join us in a space designed exclusively for the love of the game... by pickleballers, for pickleballers!

Our vision

We use pickleball as a way to build a welcoming, inclusive, caring, and supportive local community. We have fun simply jumping onto a court with anyone in our pickleball community, we compete to challenge ourselves, and we thrive when we remember we have more things in common than that which separates us.

Have fun, compete, and thrive with us!
