Serve. Support. Empower. 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 close to my heart.

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 through Chesapeake Parks and Recreation, where I lead monthly sessions that bring people together to learn, laugh, and grow.

A few months ago, we founded Pickleball WorldClass to make a real difference — especially for families in need and fellow veterans. Our goal is to make pickleball accessible to everyone while building stronger, healthier communities through programs that uplift, empower, and unite.

Each month, we host free Open Play and Instructional Sessions for all — including veterans and their families — and tournaments that promote wellness, friendship, and connection. This November, we’re honoring our nation’s heroes with a Veterans Mixed-Doubles Tournament at the Camelot Community Center in Chesapeake, Virginia — a day of spirited play, gratitude, and community.

Your support helps us continue offering free sessions and expanding our reach to schools, community organizations, and veteran programs nationwide.

Together, we can build stronger communities — one paddle at a time.
