WELCOME TO PICKLEBALL IXTAPA-ZIHUATANEJO
IFP Ambassadors

It's a lot of fun, that's the best way to describe pickleball. We are a mix of Mexicans and foreigners who love to play together, socialize together, help each other, and laugh...a lot!

Mission

To provide fun and fulfilment to players ranging from the purely social to ambitiously competitive.

Vision

To become the most respected sports organization in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo

What We Do

Ours is a drop-in game environment. Games are primarily doubles to 11 points with rotating players. Players can expect to play with and against all levels but also to participate in meaningful and challenging games. The sessions are largely player-led but a leader ensures that everyone gets games of sufficient quantity, quality and variety. Players new to the sport receive instruction and some initial coaching. We also organize frequent social gatherings and the occasional tournament.

Values

Everyone is welcome...always.
We respect, help, and care for each other.
We play fairly and compliment each other often.
Laughter is frequent and plentiful, anger is non-existent.
We try to learn each other's languages.
We care about who you are more than how well you play
