Many people join us to try pickleball. They stay because of the community.

More than somewhere to play

West Northamptonshire Pickleball was created with one promise: we would never be the club that made someone feel they weren’t good enough to belong.

Whether you are picking up a paddle for the first time or preparing for competitive matchplay, you should feel welcomed, encouraged and able to enjoy the game.

New at WNP

Sport doesn’t stop at 70.

Competitive pickleball has age categories extending into the 70s and 80s. WNP is creating a new programme combining strength training, pickleball coaching, social connection and competition for adults aged 70+.

Whether your goal is to get stronger, try pickleball, enter your first tournament or one day compete at the English Open, we’ll help you find your next step.

Why pickleball?

Four reasons people give it a go.

Easy to learn Simple rules and a gentle curve — you'll be rallying in your first session.
Great exercise Low-impact, but as much of a workout as you want it to be.
Social by nature Played in doubles, so you'll meet new people every time you turn up.
Suitable for all ages From juniors to players in their 70s — everyone plays together.

More than a place to play

We're a community first.

West Northamptonshire Pickleball is a not-for-profit CIC. Every session, every membership and every event helps fund free taster sessions, our junior pathway, and the equipment and training that make this club what it is.

See how we support each other →
A private WhatsApp group so nobody plays alone or shows up not knowing anyone.
Volunteer-led sessions — the club runs because members give their time.
A CIC, not a company — surplus goes back into free sessions and the junior programme.
Our venues

Two courts. One community.

Play indoors, all year round, whatever the weather.

In their words

Why people stay

Ask anyone what keeps them coming back, and it's rarely the sport they mention first.

“I turned up on my own not knowing a single person. By the end of the first session I had three people's numbers and a standing Tuesday game.”
