Give Your Paddle a Second Life—And Help a Middle Schooler Discover a Love for the Game
At Sona, we believe every great player starts with the right gear and a chance to play. That’s why we’ve teamed up with USA Pickleball Serves to collect lightly used paddles and donate them directly to middle school students across the country.
Because this isn’t just about equipment. It’s about confidence, connection, and opportunity.
Why Middle Schools?
Middle school is a pivotal time. Kids are building confidence, coordination, and identity. But too many schools lack the funding to offer quality equipment, and students miss out.

“When I first held my paddle, it felt like it was made just for me. I joined the pickleball club and now I want to play in high school tournaments.”
