About Us


In May of 2012, a group of Cambrians began playing a sport sweeping the nation, Pickleball.  The number of players has increased steadily and today we number 100+ members. Known as “Cambria Pickleball by the Sea, Inc.” we play at the Old Cambria Grammar School, 1350 Main Street. The courts are open for play every day when the first member arrives to unlock the courts. This may be as early as 8 AM but the first member who will open may not arrive until 8:30 or as late as 9AM. The courts remain open until the earlier of dusk or 7:30 PM.  For non-members there is a drop-in fee of $3/person to play in the morning – the courts are open to the public for free in the afternoon.  Membership fees are either $10 per full or partial month or for calendar year 2023 the annual membership is $75. If you are interested, we have a New Players’ Clinic with instructor, typically on Fridays starting at 9 AM, but often available at other days/times, please contact Phil Sumner at [email protected]. There are extra paddles on hand for you to come and give it a try.

Hi Pickleball Friends,

My passion for pickleball led me to develop an instructional website. It is my heart’s desire to see players at all levels learn the mechanics of how to hit the specific shots and understand the strategies to play an efficient game. For the price that top pros charge for a one hour lesson, this website has 90+ videos and over 7 hours of valuable content to help you improve your game. Please check out the website and I hope that you will see the value and I would appreciate your support.

Hearst Castle is located approximately six miles north and the Northern Elephant Seal rookery at Piedras Blancas is fifteen miles north.   The CDP had a population of 5,678 at the 2020 census, down from 6,032 at the 2010 census.
