About Us

Our story

The Grand Cities Pickleball Club was established in 2018. We are a group of enthusiastic pickleball players located in Grand Forks, ND and East Grand Forks, MN.

This club is for all skill levels. We welcome new players and provide coaching and support. We host tournaments also, usually in the Spring (April), Summer (July/August), and Fall (November).

Since 2018, our club membership has grown; this year, our membership is the largest in the history of the club.  We now have more than 240 members. 

Together, we are strong!  Together we can strive for continued growth and ambitious goals.
