Welcome to Rochester Area Pickleball Association (RAPA)
Pickleball in Rochester continues to grow in popularity and is the fast-growing sport in America – and more and more people of all ages are flocking the courts to play singles, doubles, and ladder play. In Rochester alone, RAPA membership has grown over 460% in five short years.
Through RAPA, we provide a welcome environment where players of all levels can gather, socialize – and play competitively throughout the year. With six main courts at Cook Park as well as several other smaller parks [which are shared with tennis players], pickleball is alive and well in the Med City.
If you’re new to the sport, we encourage you to learn more about the sport through the various links in our website – as well as personal study via a plethora of YouTube videos.
We also offer an introductory lesson at various times throughout the year. Check out RAPA News for the latest on availability of lessons. Now let’s get to pickleballing!
Support the Rebuild of Cook Park Courts
The Rochester Area Pickleball Association (RAPA) is rallying our community to help reach our $200,000 fundraising goal to rebuild the beloved Cook Park pickleball courts. So far, we’ve raised over $15,000 through membership fees, tournaments, and donations—but we need your help to go the distance. Join us on Wednesday, September 11 at 5:30 PM at the Eagles Club in Rochester for our Annual Meeting, followed by a Live Auction and the exciting RAPA Raffle Drawing. This night isn’t just about winning—it’s about investing in the future of our pickleball community.
