West Northamptonshire Pickleball is a Community Interest Company, which means we're run for community benefit rather than private profit. Pickleball is how most people find us. Belonging, wellbeing and connection are why they stay.
Whatever brought you to pickleball, we want the club to give you something back beyond the sport itself. Read why WNP exists →
Every new member is introduced into our private WhatsApp group before their first session, so there's already a friendly face waiting when they arrive.
New and nervous? Ask for a buddy and an experienced member will play alongside you for your first few weeks, no pressure attached.
We know pickleball brings people through the door for reasons beyond fitness — loneliness, recovery, a fresh start. We recognise that people come to pickleball for many different reasons, and our volunteers and coaches work hard to create a welcoming environment, and can help signpost members towards further support where appropriate.
A small number of subsidised memberships may be available for anyone who would otherwise be priced out. Ask any coach in confidence.
A structured, low-cost route for young players, part-funded by adult memberships so cost is never the barrier.
Almost everything at WNP happens because a member gave a little of their time. See how you can get involved →
Everyone who plays here has a story about why they turned up the first time — and why they kept coming back.
“There are other pickleball clubs closer to home, but I still drive over from East Hunsbury every week — because here, I actually feel like I belong.”
“Pickleball opened up my life in a way I didn't expect. I've got friends now that I didn't even realise I was missing.”
