Welcome to the Albany Pickleball Club

Are you searching for a friendly pickleball community in the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon? Then you’ve found the right place. We are passionate about promoting the sport of pickleball throughout the Mid-Willamette Valley and Oregon as a whole. We were incorporated as an Oregon nonprofit club October 12, 2012 and currently have more than 170 members ranging from beginners to intermediate and advanced players.

Mission Statement. The mission of the Albany Pickleball Club is to organize the play of pIckleball in Albany, Oregon and the surrounding Mid-Willamette Valley for the enjoyment, fellowship, and promotion of the sport of pickleball.

 

You don’t have to be a member to play with us, but there are many activities we run and opportunities we provide that do require membership. At only $30 per year, it is well worth it and you are contributing to all the work we do keeping courts in good shape and planning events from lessons to social play, round robins, and tournaments.

We play on public courts and welcome all new comers to check us out. Check out our Member Benefits. For those who are just beginning to play, contact our Beginner Coordinator.

RALLY IN THE VALLEY 2026 WAS A SUCCESS

The Tournament closed on Sunday, August 30th. With nearly 100 players, it was a blast. Want to check out action shots, medal pictures. Then go to our Dropbox site here and find your friends, check out the team action, and medal awards. You can find your photos or someone you know and download them if you like.

Every tournament takes a lot of people to make it happen. Set up is key. Click the arrow on the video below. It celebrates the work of Albany Pickleball Members who volunteered to set everything up Thursday morning, August 27th and continued to help throughout the three day tournament and taking it all down at the end.

A week or two rest and we will be planning for the 2027 tournament soon.
