Palm Beach Royals, Transworld Kick Off Youth Pickleball Initiative with Boys & Girls Clubs Palm Beach County

The Palm Beach Royals, in partnership with Transworld Business Advisors of Florida and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County, officially kicked off the Palm Beach Royals Boys & Girls Clubs Youth Pickleball Initiative, presented by Transworld Business Advisors of Florida on March 20 at the Marjorie S. Fisher Boys & Girls Club of West Palm Beach.

As part of the kickoff, Transworld donated 25 pickleball paddles, along with water and snacks, ensuring participating youth had the equipment and support needed to engage in the program from day one.

The initiative brings together the Palm Beach Royals, one of South Florida’s premier Major League Pickleball teams, and Transworld Business Advisors of Florida, the world’s largest business brokerage firm, to introduce teenage students to one of the fastest-growing sports in the country.

The kickoff clinic was led by professional players and staff from the Palm Beach Royals, offering hands-on instruction, mentorship, and opportunities to compete. Designed to be both scalable and sustainable, the program aims to build a long-term community sports initiative that expands access to pickleball across Palm Beach County.

Through ongoing clinics, teens will continue developing their skills while gaining confidence, discipline, and exposure to competitive play. The initiative also includes plans for an inter-club youth tournament later this summer, creating a pathway for participants to further engage in the sport.

“This initiative is another step in our mission to invest in the next generation of our community, both on and off the pickleball court,” said Zach Hunter, Co-Owner of the Palm Beach Royals and Managing Partner at Hyperspace Ventures. “We’re excited to introduce these teens to the game while helping them build valuable life skills and new opportunities.”

“Transworld is proud to support programs like this that create meaningful impact,” said Andy Cagnetta, Founder of Transworld Business Advisors of Florida. “This initiative not only introduces young people to an exciting sport, but also helps build confidence, discipline, and experiences that will stay with them for years to come.”

Pickleball’s accessibility and ease of learning make it an ideal entry point into youth sports, allowing participants of all skill levels to take part in a welcoming and active environment.

The Palm Beach Royals Boys & Girls Clubs Youth Pickleball Initiative will expand to additional Boys & Girls Club locations across Palm Beach County, further extending its reach and impact throughout the community.
