Play Together,
Your Paddle, Their Joy: Transform Lives 6,000 Miles Away
Pickleball Anywhere: Next Stop Ukraine
Pickleball Anywhere: Next Stop Ukraine is a long-term, community-led movement connecting pickleball players across borders. Through paddle donations, personal messages, and evolving campaigns, the initiative brings the joy of play to new players and communities in Ukraine.
It’s more than a donation drive — it’s a cross-cultural collaboration rooted in friendship, sport, and solidarity. Launched by the Ukrainian Pickleball Federation (Ukraine) and Anywhere Pickleball LLC (USA), the project helps grow the game in Ukraine.
WHY DO THIS?
What Benefits Are Pickleball Bringing to Ukraine?
Pickleball is simple, affordable, and incredibly social, making it an ideal activity for communities rebuilding connections and promoting well-being. In Ukraine, it offers more than just recreation: it brings people together, relieves stress, and creates joyful moments in uncertain times.
As the sport grows, it’s becoming a tool for healing, movement, and inclusion—whether in parks, schools, veteran groups, or local communities. Your support helps unlock these moments for players of all ages.
Current Pickleball Development in Ukraine
Pickleball in Ukraine is becoming more than just a game—it’s a movement for resilience, connection, and recovery.
Ukraine is the 60th member of the Global Pickleball Federation. In just one year, the sport has grown from a handful of paddles into a vibrant national community, with active players across the country. Veterans, youth, seniors, and families have embraced the game. Ukraine is even preparing an adaptive team for one significant international events, the Scatchers English Open.
But this growth comes with real challenges. Almost all communities lack access to proper equipment, courts, and training gear. Paddles are shared, lines are improvised, and matches are often played on borrowed space. The passion is there, but the resources are not. As the first U.S. pickleball company to officially support pickleball development in Ukraine, Anywhere Pickleball has provided certain paddles and equipment, but that is far from enough. We need your help.
