ABOUT
The Rocket Story
Rocket is named from the proud area we come from and play--the cities of Rockwall and Rowlett in the great "Everything is Bigger" state of Texas. This is also true of pickleball where Rockwall boasts the largest facility in the state with 36 outdoor and 8 covered courts, as well as being one of the largest outdoor venues in the nation. Our aim is to launch this organization to new heights with setting and acheiving goals that align with our core mission which is to positively impact as many people as possible. We can only do so with your charitable and generous tax-deductible donations. Know that all of our operational expenses are fully covered by our team and a private group of donors which means 100% of your funds goes directly to the mission. How much of your dollar is actually going to the cause where you are giving now?
We love pickleball. We know what this fastest growing sport in America has done for our lives and believe it can undoubtedly change yours as well. We wish nothing more than for those whom simply do not have the opportunity to play to be able to do so. Every person. Of any age. Of all cultural backgrounds.
There can be challenges or barriers to playing pickleball such as finding a striped court nearby, people to play with, or obtaining equipment such as a net, paddles and balls. This is precisely why it is our distinct pursuit to donate quality pickleball equipment to schools, churches and other similar groups. These institutions teach, instill morality and inspire our youth, seniors, veterans and all in between. They have the capacity to expose, promote and spread the joy that pickleball brings, on a large scale to the masses. Our sincere appreciation for taking the time to read and learn about our passion and the noble message of Rocket Pickleball.

Our Rocket Team
Pickleball has meaningfully impacted and transformed many facets of my life. Today I lead a much more active lifestyle which has had tremendous influence on my health. Striving to improve both on and off of the court has been a benefit. Most importantly the sense of community and belonging has been astounding, a feeling I have not had before. Sharing this passion with others, especially those that have not been exposed to the sport is its own joy. We support organizations whom can provide a safe place for all to learn, engage, socialize, to have fun and character build! These are the reasons this non-profit exists and was created. Thank you for being a part of this colaborative and exciting journey with Rocket Pickleball!

I'm all about my faith, my family, and pickleball! As a follower of Jesus, an educator and a busy mom, I've spent my life serving others. Now I've found a hobby that I truly love and enjoy, and I want to share that love and joy with others. I've seen in my own life the impact pickleball can make - from the physical activity that brings better health, to the community aspect that contributes to emotional health. And all the while, it feels like I'm just having fun playing with family and friends. I'm excited and grateful to be part of Rocket Pickleball and have the opportunity to make pickleball accessible to others.
