Supporting The Growth Of Scotland's Fastest Growing Sport
Internet Creation partnered with Pickleball Scotland to create a modern digital platform that reflects its role as the recognised National Governing Body for pickleball in Scotland.
Designed to inspire participation, support clubs and volunteers, promote competitions and provide educational resources, the website serves as the central hub for players of every age and ability across Scotland. Pickleball Scotland achieved official recognition from sportscotland as the National Governing Body in December 2024.
