✨ Celebrating Women’s History Month — Join the Pickleball WorldClass Movement! 🎾

Hello and warm greetings!

I’m George Lopez — a proud father, grandfather, devoted husband, and military veteran. Originally from the beautiful country of Belize, I now call Chesapeake, Virginia home. I have the honor of serving as President of Pickleball WorldClass, a nonprofit organization with a mission deeply rooted in service, unity, and community.

My journey with pickleball began over five years ago, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Beyond playing, I’m a certified instructor specializing in beginner-level classes, and for nearly a year I’ve had the privilege of teaching monthly sessions through Chesapeake Parks and Recreation. What I enjoy most is connecting with people, sharing the joy of the game, and building lasting relationships on and off the court.

Pickleball WorldClass was founded to make a real difference — especially for distressed children, veterans, and their families. Our goal is to make pickleball accessible to everyone while building stronger, healthier communities through programs that uplift, empower, and unite.

This month, in a special tribute inspired by my wife, Shermaine Lopez and in celebration of Women’s History Month, we invite you to join us for a day of empowerment and play!
