Empowering Our Community through Pickleball
Meet Our Board of Directors
Our team is fully dedicated to fostering the growth of the pickleball community and ensuring a positive experience for every member. The SMA Pickleball Club operates entirely through volunteer efforts, aiming to promote and expand pickleball in San Miguel. Additionally, we fundraise to maintain the city’s courts. If you’re interested in joining our volunteer team, please reach out to us. Board positions are staggered and subject to annual votes. Below is the 2024-2025 Board.
