Pickleball Unites

“We see pickleball as an incredible medium that brings people together, connects communities, and promotes a healthy and active lifestyle.”

Drew Brees

A Global Movement for transcending differences — one dink at a time. We believe in the power of pickleball to bridge divides and bring people together across cultures, communities, and continents. Pickleball Unites introduced the sport to Bhutan in 2023 (see original flyer), however it was more than just a trip — it was a soul-stirring experience for our volunteers. It was a rare and transformative adventure that united hearts through play.

And, we’ve only just begun! We’re building community — one dink at a time, one person at a time, one country at a time. At the heart of Pickleball Unites is a commitment to connection. We bring people and resources together to transform lives through physical vitality, mental fitness and joyful play.

Through coaching and teaching, we give back — especially to youth and adults in underserved areas — so that the benefits of pickleball ripple far beyond the court.

Our Mission isn’t just about taking pickleball abroad. It’s also about inviting the world in. Two South African players. Snappy and Thabile, will travel to Birch Bay. WA in May, 2026 to train, grow and share their culture as part of a 2-5 month cultural exchange with Coach B (Dotti Berry), the creator of Pickleball Unites.

Coach B already coached in South Africa (Dec 2024) and Ghana (Jan 2025), and in January 2027, she’ll return to Memel South Africa — home of the country’s first dedicated pickleball court — with a give-back group of volunteers. She will also lead a second return trip Bhutan in October 2027. Meantime, our Pickleball Escapades By Women For Women ™ retreats are creating powerful transformation and EmPOWERing women through travel and sport.

Coach B brings the Mental Game to Pickleball Unites. True transformation in pickleball – and in life – starts from within. Coach B uses PQ (Positive Intelligence) reps and integrates the essence of her Mental Edge: The X Factor™ MindShift Equation ™ coaching to help players strengthen self-command, quiet their inner critic, and lead with their Sage- all while playing with more joy, focus, and flow.

Through Pickleball Unites, she brings these powerful tools to underserved communities and developing players – making the mental game accessible to all. When players develop both skill and self-awareness, the court becomes more than a place to compete – it becomes a place to grow, connect and thrive. We’re building something extraordinary – and the ripple is real. 🌍

I am thrilled to welcome the introduction of pickleball to Bhutan. This exciting new sport not only adds diversity to our facility but also creates a platform for cultural exchange and friendship building between Bhutan and the United States. Let's serve up some fun and make history together!

Pickleball can be a great sport for the Bhutanese people and can bring positive changes in their lives.

Our Pickleball Bhutan project is a beautiful thing we are all contributing to, and the benefits for so many will ripple forth for longer than there is time for any of us to truly understand.

I am looking forward to the group from the U.S bringing this sport to Bhutan. The introduction of pickleball in Bhutan is not just about a new sport, it's about bridging cultures, building friendships, and creating opportunities for growth. Let's embrace the spirit of pickleball and use it as a vehicle for positive change in the world.
