The University of Wisconsin has offered club sports since 1970, when the first official Sport Clubs were organized. In 2022, UW student Taylor Chemer co-founded the Wisconsin Pickleball Club.
Chemer, his sisters Lola and Cassidy Chemer, and his roommate Nate Wiese founded the club. Chemer said he started the club “with the hopes of playing some casual games with other students on campus.”
Little did he know how far this club would take him.

The Wisconsin Pickleball Club runs both semesters, with tryouts kicking off both seasons.
“Our club is the home of competitive pickleball on campus,” Chemer said.
