Club History

Pickleball - Colorful Paddles, Balls and Court
In Spring of 2009, Bill and Joan Dougherty moved to Rossmoor. They started playing Pickleball on only one tennis court a few days a week. Bill convinced Tice Valley Gym to allow Pickleball on the badminton courts, with a lowered net.
When the Rossmoor Pickleball Club was formed some of the founding members were Dick and Lynn Hildebrand, Wayne Moon, Trish Dickinson, Addie Mattox and Steve and Linda Ritz.
​
In 2014 the Walnut Creek Pickleball was formed when it moved to play on the multi-use courts at Rudgear Park.
​
The Walnut Creek Pickleball Club continues to grow exponentially as participation in the sport continues to grow nationwide.
