Pickleball School Donations — Giving Back Through Play

Giving Back Through Pickleball

At Dink Buddy, we believe pickleball isn’t just a sport—it’s a community builder. That’s why we’re proud to support schools and youth programs through our Kelso Balls™ Donation Program, helping students discover the fun, teamwork, and wellness that come from playing pickleball.

Supporting Schools, One Dink at a Time

We’ve donated Kelso Balls™ to schools across the country to help introduce pickleball to physical education programs and after-school activities. Each donation provides durable, quiet pickleball balls that make the game accessible and enjoyable for all ages.
Schools and students can get started quickly with our portable nets and equipment, designed to make every game easy and fun.

Our goal is simple: make pickleball easy to start, easy to love, and easy to share—especially for students just picking up a paddle for the first time.
