Compete. Connect. Heal.
We use pickleball as therapy to help improve the physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being of all who participate. Veterans living with PTSD, TBI, SCI, amputation, low self esteem and other challenges have the opportunity to experience the healing benefits of being social and competitive by playing pickleball.
Every month we offer free Pickleball Play Days for the retired, reserve and active military community (including families).
VETERANS PLAY PICKLEBALL strives to help Disabled Veterans and Wounded Warriors improve their confidence, self-esteem and overall well-being. We view pickleball as an opportunity to promote equality to all that have served America and offer an outlet to their entire family that directly impacts their quality of life.
VETERANS PLAY PICKLEBALL is an offshoot program from
Adaptive Pickleball, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to bringing the physical and social benefits of pickleball to people of diverse-abilities throughout the Upstate South Carolina area.
Upcoming Play Days
Retired, reserve and active military community (including families) are invited to play. It’s Free. Beginners are welcome. We’ll teach you how to play pickleball.
Play Days for Veterans are made possible in part by Upstate Warrior Solution and Prisma Health Roger C. Peace Rehabilition Hospital.
