This all started because a few friends were having fun on the courts and wanted to share that with everyone around them. Not a formal plan, not a business — just people who loved the game and thought, why not bring more people into it?
What started as “we playing tomorrow?” turned into “see you tomorrow.” That shift — from casual to committed, from group chat to community — is exactly what CPB @ UCR is built on. We call it family.
Whether you're passionate about competing or just love doing something fun with people who get it — bring that energy to UCR and you'll naturally build what we have. A club that started with a few friends and a pickleball, and grew into something way bigger.
We show up to practice with purpose and to tournaments with intensity. Friendly is fine — but we're here to win.
Pickleball is for everyone. We actively build a club where every student — background, skill, identity — feels like they belong.
We're always learning — new strategies, new skills, new people. A growth mindset is the only requirement to thrive here.
Meet the students who keep the courts running and the community growing.
