Year 2Arizona High School Pickleball
Last season, Arizona emerged as a national leader in high school pickleball: 25 school-chartered clubs, a state championships tournament in December 2025, and a CLUB CUP in April 2026 that introduced a new team format built specifically for scholastic competition.
Year 1 we made history. Year 2 we make a statement: 100 clubs in Arizona, 1,000 paddles for players.
PURE is contributing 10 brand-new paddles to each of the first 100 Arizona high school clubs that register. Returning clubs qualify.
Takes about five minutes. You’ll need your staff sponsor’s school email and your school’s shipping address.
Eligible clubs must be school chartered, staff sponsored and student led.
Our goal: 100 schools

Arizona High School Pickleball
PURE is leading the movement to make pickleball an official high school sport in Arizona.
The inaugural season culminated in the first annual Arizona High School Pickleball State Championships, presented by HonorHealth and officially certified by USA Pickleball. A total of 145 student-athletes competed across five events—Boys & Girls Doubles, Mixed Doubles, and Boys & Girls Singles—with results also determining the overall High School Club State Champion.
The momentum continued in Spring 2026 with the debut of CLUB CUP, an innovative team-format tournament showcasing the future of school-based pickleball competition.
Now, PURE is setting an ambitious new goal: 100 Arizona high school pickleball clubs by December 31, 2026. As an incentive, new and existing school-certified clubs are eligible to receive 10 brand-new pickleball paddles simply by connecting with our team.
