Walnut Creek Pickleball Club

 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.
