If you’ve recently heard about Treasure Valley Pickleball (TVP) and are curious about who we are and what we stand for, we’re excited to share our story.

Treasure Valley Pickleball was founded by a group of passionate players and leaders who have long been committed to growing the game in our community. The organization was started by former board members of the Boise Area Pickleball Association (BAPA)—including two past presidents—who wanted to continue fostering the same spirit of community, training, and support that made BAPA a success.

For nearly 12 years, BAPA was a central force in promoting pickleball throughout the Treasure Valley. It offered players of all levels opportunities to play, connect socially, and build their skills. When the current BAPA board made the decision to dissolve the organization, a group of former leaders recognized that there was still a vital need in the community—especially for new and developing players who are just beginning their pickleball journey.

That’s where Treasure Valley Pickleball comes in.

Our mission is simple: to support beginners and developing players by providing the coaching, community, and resources they need to enjoy the game and grow in it. We understand that while advanced players have many opportunities to compete and connect, beginners often feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to start. We’re here to change that.

At TVP, we focus on three key pillars of player development:

• Fundamental Skills: We provide structured clinics and training sessions that help players build solid technique—serving, returning, dinking, and more.
• Game Strategy: We help players understand when and why to use certain shots, how to work with a partner, and how to manage court positioning.
• The Mental Game: We believe that mindset matters. Confidence, patience, and decision-making are all part of a player’s growth, and we create a positive environment where players can build these qualities.

Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to move from casual play into something more focused and competitive, Treasure Valley Pickleball is here to help you take that next step. Our clinics, events, and resources are built around encouragement, community, and quality instruction—so that every player can feel welcome and supported.

Most importantly, we believe that pickleball is a sport for life. It’s accessible, social, and fun—and the physical and mental health benefits can last a lifetime. That’s why we’re committed to helping people not just play, but thrive in the game.

So, if you’re new to the sport, or know someone who is, we invite you to connect with us. Whether you join a free clinic, download our beginner’s guide, or just come say hello, Treasure Valley Pickleball is your home for learning, playing, and loving the game.
