Are you ready to SHINE?
Need a joy boost? Lost your sparkle?
Life is brighter when you make joy a priority.
Playing pickleball is a great way to move, laugh, and connect—but Joy Crazy is about more than pickleball.
Joy Crazy helps you find joy in everyday life, on and off the court.
Are you ready to LEARN?
We're life-long learners at heart, willing to try new things—like Trivia Games, Jazz Nights, or Touring a Distillery—but going solo can feel intimidating.
That's why we plan group activites to enjoy together.
What is the "I'm Learning" Philosophy?
In the Joy Crazy® community, we embrace an "I'm learning" attitude—especially about our own quirks and missteps.
Laughter (especially at ourselves) is a superpower.
Reminding each other not to take life too seriously softens the hard stuff, and makes even missed pickleball shots more fun.
Are you ready to CONNECT?
New life twists? Health issues?
You’re in good company. Many of us are juggling chronic conditions or unexpected challenges—including caregivers, cancer survivors, and more.
We cheer each other on. And when we can’t meet in person (or have a middle-of-the-night thought), Joy Crazy Connect—our online membership hub—keeps us supported, informed, and connected.

Play Pickleball
Want to play pickleball, but you're a bit intimidated?
We're about fun first. We focus on building skills and confidence in beginning and intermediate level players.
As adult ploayers, we prioritize kindess on the court, along with friendly competition.
