Our club
Pura Vida 21 is a family-friendly pickleball club in Bierbeek where fun and connection come first.
From a handful of players to a real club
We started in 2021 with a handful of enthusiasts and grew into a warm club for all ages and levels. What began as a weekly play session became a home base for dozens of players from Bierbeek and beyond.
For us it is not about performance pressure, but about playing together, learning, and hanging around a bit after the match. New faces are always welcome, and you need no experience or gear to join in.
Recreation first, competition for those who want it
About four in five members play purely for fun, and that is exactly how it should be: playing and laughing together is our priority. Whether you are holding a paddle for the first time or just fancy a relaxed, sporty afternoon with friends, you are in the right place.
Got the taste for it and want to push your limits? We offer a real springboard to competitive level: focused training, specific drills and match experience through tournaments, club clashes and interclub, with the DUPR rating as your compass. New this year: Thursday evening drill sessions for competitive players, together with the PV21 Academy coaching team. Our youth programme, meanwhile, guides players from 8 to 18 in small groups.
