Our Mission

Growing Pickleball
One Community at a Time

The Des Moines Metro Pickleball Club (DMMPC) is a volunteer run, nonprofit organization striving to facilitate the growth of pickleball in the area of Central Iowa. With one voice, the Club works with local municipalities in planning for the needs of our growing and diverse player community. The Club also promotes the best qualities of pickleball by providing a friendly and inclusive environment. In addition, the Club is guided by these principles:

Serving its Members

We provide tailored pickleball experiences for players at every level—from safe learning environments for beginners to skills clinics for intermediate players and competitive tournaments throughout the year.

Positively Impacting the Community

DMMPC has assisted in the expansion of pickleball across Polk and neighboring counties. The club supports building facilities and other nonprofits' events, fundraises for charitable causes, provides free clinics and equipment, and maintains regular adult and youth programs.

Program Sustainability

As a grassroots organization powered by volunteers from our Board to event staff, we sustain our community growth initiatives through Signature Events, sponsorships, and donations.
