Our History

The Loveland Pickleball Club, LLC was founded in June of 2012 to promote the growth of pickleball in the greater Loveland community and to provide playing and training opportunities for all members. The LPC started with a core of less than 20 players sharing two pickleball courts with dual striping over one tennis court.

In its first year, the Loveland Pickleball Club, LLC grew to 55 members due to the game’s popularity. As of 2022, LPC membership stands at 640+ active members with skill levels up to 4.5. The membership growth is a direct result of LPC's focus on the playing opportunities, skill development, and training opportunities. This focus has fostered growth from Loveland and surrounding communities.
