Welcome to the Murfreesboro Pickleball Association (MPA): Where the Community Plays Pickleball!
We're so glad you're here! At MPA, we’re all about celebrating the fastest-growing sport in America! Whether you’re a pro with years of experience or you've just picked up a paddle for the first time, we’re here to make pickleball in Murfreesboro fun, welcoming, and accessible for everyone.
Our Game Plan: Bringing Pickleball to Life in Murfreesboro
Our mission? It's simple: bringing people together through the joy of pickleball. We do this, in part, by working closely with the Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Department and the city government to:
- Coordinate local schedules, hours, and rules for pickleball courts.
- Organize leagues, tournaments, and classes for all skill levels.
- Host social events to connect players both on and off the courts.
- Share the latest pickleball news and upcoming events.
- Advocate for more courts and better facilities in our community.
Get in the Game: Why Pickleball is a Smash Hit!
Pickleball isn't just a sport - it's a game-changer! Perfect for all ages and skill levels, it's easy to learn, super social, and a fantastic way to stay active. Whether you're looking to get fit, make new friends, or simply have fun, pickleball offers something for everyone.
The rules are simple, the equipment is affordable, and places to play are popping up everywhere. Plus, it's low-impact - making it gentle on your joints while still giving you a great workout. With its fast-paced rallies and welcoming community vibe, pickleball is more than a pastime - it's a lifestyle you'll love being a part of! Here in Murfreesboro, our pickleball community is growing every day, and we'd love for you to be a part of it!

Whether you’re here to compete, sharpen your skills, or just enjoy a casual game with friends, MPA has something for you! Check out our events, calendar, sign up for a lesson, or swing by for open play. Let's paddle up and grow the Murfreesboro pickleball family together!

PAST EVENTS
Kitchen Kindness Recap
On September 21st, our MPA family came together for more than just pickleball—we came together for kindness.
At our Kitchen Kindness Open-Play Event, 18 members filled the courts with energy, laughter, and great rallies. But even more importantly, we filled the “kitchen” off the court with generosity. ✨
Thanks to your donations, we were able to collect a huge supply of non-perishable food items including high-need items like peanut butter, jelly, cereal, pasta, beans, and more. Your kindness helped 45 local families right here in our community.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who played, donated, and supported this event. You proved that pickleball is about more than the game—it’s about friendship, fun, and giving back.
Stay tuned for more events like this—we can’t wait to see you on (and off) the courts again soon!
