Pickleball, Coming to a College Near You
Welcome back pickleheads. Today we speak with Noah Suemnick, founder of the National Collegiate Pickleball Association (NCPA). Get ready to be inspired as he shares his ambitious journey of bringing the sport to college campuses around the country. Fresh from the NCPA's maiden tournament in San Diego, and the challenges faced in establishing a pickleball association during a time when everyone is looking for a piece of the pickleball pie.
Listen in as we navigate through Noah's bold vision of uniting college and community through the ever-expanding sport of pickleball. If you're a fan of controversy, you won't want to miss his experiences dealing with the NCAA over the organization's name - a tale of adversity turned advantage.
At only 22 years old, Noah has a vision that is just now launching into reality. Only five years ago the average age of pickleball players was 50+, but that dynamic is quickly flipping with more and more players learning and playing the game at a young age. It won't be long before pickleball scholarships are a reality, high school letter jackets will feature a whiffle ball, and people like Noah will be the ones to make it happen.
Saddle up and have a listen, you'll be glad you did!
