Support Trojan Pickleball: Help Us Compete at Nationals and Grow Our Community!
The Trojan Pickleball Club at USC has had an incredible year, and we’re thrilled to announce that our competitive team is heading to Nationals this April! This is a huge milestone for our club, but we need your support to make it happen. Traveling for national competition is a major expense, and we want to ensure that our athletes can represent USC at the highest level without financial barriers.
Why We Need Your Support
Our club is more than just a team—it’s a growing community that brings together students of all skill levels who share a love for the fastest-growing sport in the country. We offer open play sessions, clinics, and tournaments that allow players to engage, improve, and compete. However, as a collegiate club, we lack the funding that varsity programs receive, meaning our members often have to cover costs out of pocket.
Your donation will directly contribute to:
1. Getting the Trojans to Nationals
Nationals is the pinnacle of college pickleball competition, and getting there is no small feat. Travel costs, lodging, registration fees, and equipment all add up quickly. Our goal is to ensure that every qualified player can compete without financial hardship. With your support, we can focus on training and performing our best instead of worrying about costs.
2. Expanding Access to Pickleball at USC
Beyond competition, we’re committed to making pickleball accessible to everyone in the Trojan community. Our club welcomes players of all levels, and having proper equipment—paddles, balls, nets, and court reservations—allows more students to get involved. Many students who want to try pickleball don’t own their own gear, and we want to eliminate that barrier. Donations will help us purchase loaner gear so that anyone can experience the sport without needing to invest upfront.
3. Supporting General Operations & Growth
Running a collegiate pickleball club takes resources. From reserving court space, developing merchandise and gear, to hosting events, we need funding to maintain and expand what we offer. As pickleball grows at USC, so does the need for structured programs that allow students to participate at both recreational and competitive levels. With additional funds, we can host more events, expand our competitive roster, acquire better gear for players, and win the National Championship.
How You Can Help
Every dollar makes a difference. Whether you’re an alum, a fellow Trojan, a pickleball enthusiast, or just someone who wants to support student athletes, your contribution will have a direct impact. Here’s how you can get involved:
- Donate: Any amount helps! Contributions will go directly toward Nationals expenses, gear, and operations.
- Share Our Cause: Spread the word! The more people who know about our efforts, the more support we can gain.
- Follow us on Instagram! You can find us @trojanpickleball on instagram
With your help, we can continue USC's ascension to a powerhouse for pickleball, provide opportunities for students to play, and proudly represent the Trojans on the national stage.
Thank you for being part of our journey—Fight On!
