The Hawks Prairie Pickleball Club is a group of enthusiastic pickleball players from Jubilee and Edgewater in the Hawks Prairie Community Association (HPCA) of Lacey, WA. Membership is open to residents of Edgewater and Jubilee only.
Don Senger introduced pickleball to the Jubilee residents by offering complimentary lessons in the summer of 2007. Advanced players have offered beginning lessons every summer since then to residents of both Jubilee and Edgewater. The Jubilee Pickleball Club was formed in 2010 for players in Jubilee. In 2012, players in Edgewater were invited to join the club as associate members. In 2015, we changed our name to The Hawks Prairie Pickleball Club (known as HPPC) and our affiliation to HPCA.
From May through October, we offer regular drop-in play times. In addition, we offer beginning lessons and skill development sessions. Each summer we host an open pickleball tournament, a dink tournament and a mixed-skill tournament for club members.
