ABOUT CBAPB

OUR STORY

At Council Bluffs Area Pickleball (CBAPB), we believe in more than just the game—we believe in building a vibrant, welcoming community where everyone can experience the fun, fitness, and friendships that pickleball brings.

CBAPB is a nonprofit organization incorporated under the laws of the state of Iowa. We’re proud to be a 501(c)3 organization, and everything we do is made possible through the dedication of our amazing volunteers. From organizing events to keeping the courts ready for play, our team keeps the magic alive.

OUR ROOTS

Our six indoor pickleball courts, located in the Iowa West Field House, were made possible by funding from the Iowa West Foundation. While the foundation helped with the initial buildout, the ongoing upkeep—like utilities, insurance, and maintenance—is handled by the club, through memberships and donations.

OUR MISSION

The Council Bluffs Pickleball Association is dedicated to promoting the sport of pickleball through inclusive participation, community engagement, and skill development. We strive to foster a welcoming environment where players of all ages and abilities can enjoy the game, build friendships, and enhance their physical well-being.
