Kids’ Summer Pickleball Clinics

If you’re already thinking ahead to summer and wondering how to keep the kids active (without hearing “I’m bored” on repeat), check this out.

Kids’ Summer Pickleball Clinics are back at The Kitchen, offering a fun, structured way for kids ages 7–18 to stay moving, learn something new, and meet other kids.

Each clinic is led by members of the Mizzou Pickleball Team along with certified coaches, so kids are learning from players who actually know the game—while still keeping things fun and approachable.

Sessions are designed by skill level, whether your child is brand new, building consistency, or ready for more competitive play. You can choose what works best for your schedule too, with 1-day clinics on Tuesdays or 2-day sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays. And yes, you can sign up for more than one.

Everything takes place indoors at The Kitchen Grill & Games, which makes it a reliable option no matter what Missouri weather decides to do.

Each registration also includes a free lunch voucher and a small gift, which is a nice bonus for a half-day of activity.

Kids can bring their own paddle or use one on-site, so it’s easy to jump in without a big upfront investment.

Spots tend to fill quickly, especially once summer schedules start locking in, so this is one of those things worth booking early if it sounds like a fit.
