✨ 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.
