Improving Lives Through Pickleball
What We Do
Forward Dinking helps people navigate major life changes through pickleball.
Pickleball builds friendships, forges bonds among strangers, and helps players
stay active, learn teamwork and become a part of a supportive community.
Our programs serve those in transition—whether they’re coming home from the military or jail, building a new life in recovery, grieving a loss, or navigating changes that have left them searching for connection and belonging.
