About Us
It all started... ON THE ROCK
West Seattle is a place that embodies the spirit of a rock – strong, resilient, and unwavering. This vibrant community is more akin to a solid foundation than a detached island.
This community is a testament to the power of coming together, supporting one another, and embracing the unique strengths that each individual brings to the table. That is how and why the Westside Pickleball League was founded in the heart of West Seattle.
Whether you’re a long-time pickleball player or a newcomer, you’ll appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, while playing a sport that is competitive yet inclusive, challenging yet accessible.
In the Westside Pickleball League, the sense of camaraderie and shared purpose is as solid as a rock.
Come play with us!
Westside Pickleball League
There are limited pickleball play opportunities during the winter months in the West Seattle area. We lack indoor venues especially in evenings and weekends which has become a barrier to play for most players.
Westside Pickleball League, sponsored by Seattle Metro Pickleball Association (SMPA), will run ladder leagues at indoor gyms in the winter, and outdoor tournaments at SWAC. We will play lots of pickleball, have FUN, and give back to our community.
The league will be an ongoing fundraiser for Chief Sealth High School, more courts, more equipment, and more play in the West Seattle area.
SMPA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Donation
Seattle Metro Pickleball Association, acting as fiscal sponsor, formally established a West Seattle Fund to provide financial support for Westside Pickleball League for the purpose of adding pickleball courts, league play, and tournament play opportunities in West Seattle and nearby areas.
