Founded by several members of the Delaware County community, Delco Dills Pickleball Club in Wallingford, Pennsylvania seeks to be a community-forward organization in an area underserved in the pickleball space. Liz Gallard and Kathy Dolphin are two of the founding members of Delco Dills and currently serve as board members for the club. They were eager to share their experience as a pickleball club working with a fiscal sponsor toward their goal of making the game more accessible for players of all skill and athletic abilities. Gallard is quick to note that while other states, and even areas not too far away such as the Jersey Shore, are writhe with pickleball courts and amenities, the Delaware County area is severely lacking in local resources. Delco Dills is working to address this gap and are on a mission to “raise funds to build properly surfaced pickleball courts in our community,” according to their website.

So, to ensure customer satisfaction and eliminate buyer’s remorse, many clubs around the country are offering paddle demos. The Pickleball Club at Monroe is one such club.
