Yonah Mountain Pickleball Club
Play, compete, and grow with Yonah Mountain Pickleball Club.
Kick off your weekend with Open Play+
The YMPC is introducing Open Play+, a new tradition happening monthly! Our first one is Friday, September 4, with pickleball starting at 5:00 PM, followed by a fun themed dinner.
It’s more than just an evening on the courts—it’s a chance to play, dine and connect with the YMPC community. All ages and skill levels are welcome, so come for the pickleball and stay for the food, fun and fellowship.
YMPC members play and stay for FREE and non-members are just $5.
Good people. Great play. Strong community. That’s what Open Play+ is all about!
ready to climb?
Battle through the Yonah Mountain ranks in YMPC’s new Ladder League! Players will compete in rotating pools, with strong finishes providing opportunities to advance from Basecamp to Ascent, Ridge and ultimately the Summit.
The league consists of six sessions held every other Tuesday from September 8 through November 17. Warm-up begins at 6:00 with league play at 6:30. Gender and mixed pools will alternate each session, creating fresh matchups and plenty of friendly competition.
All skill levels are welcome, and you do not have to commit to every session—just show up, play hard and have fun! Registration fee is $10 for YMPC members and $15 for non-members.

pickle & praise
On September 27, the YMPC invites you to “Pickle & Praise,” a Christ-centered event held at the White County Parks & Recreation outdoor courts, bringing together pickleball, Christian worship, prayer, fellowship, and fun.
Join us for an exciting evening where everyone is welcome—whether you’re a seasoned player or have never picked up a paddle. Courts will be open for all ages and skill levels, and if you’re new to the game, we’ll be happy to help you learn the basics and get you playing.
More than just pickleball, Pickle & Praise is an opportunity to meet new friends, enjoy friendly play, encourage one another, and spend meaningful time connecting with our Lord and Savior through worship and prayer.
Best of all, the event is completely free. Come for the pickleball, stay for the fellowship, and enjoy an evening of faith and community. For questions about Pickle & Praise, please reach out to our event coordinator, Ryan Hodge, at (678) 873-2852 or email Ryan at ryanh1357@gmail.com.
