Pickleball - Monster Athlete

The mission of Monster Athlete Juniors Pickleball is to equip young athletes to successfully compete in Pickleball matches, competitions and club tournaments.

Who we are

While Seattle is the birthplace of pickleball. Phoenix is the birthplace of junior club pickleball thanks to Monster Athlete Juniors. The MAJ program provides weekly practices, inter-club scrimmages, and regular tournament play to junior age athletes. We do this through our network of club programs within our MAJ family as well as affiliated independent clubs. It’s a pioneering effort not currently offered by any other organizations we are aware of in the US. MAJ is the only current DUPR registered junior club entity in the DUPR system.

Athletes between the ages of 8 and 17 have the opportunity to join junior pickleball clubs in their area, train with qualified coaches, and compete with athletes of similar age and abilities from other MAJ clubs. Our playing season runs for 12 weeks with two seasons per year, Fall and Spring. During the off season, MAJ offers clinics, tune-ups, and other playing opportunities.
