West Point officers hold every line.
They held at Bastogne. They'll hold at the kitchen.

Join the Club Our Mission

No dues. No fees. Just fall in and play.

"Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that, upon other fields, on other days, will bear the fruits of victory." General Douglas MacArthur — USMA Superintendent, 1919–1922

Connecting the Long Gray Line on and off the Pickleball Court

West Point has produced leaders who shaped American history on every battlefield from Gettysburg to Kandahar. Those same graduates are now spread across every state and dozens of countries, and they are picking up pickleball paddles at a rate that would impress even Patton.

The West Point Pickleball Club exists to connect USMA alumni on and off the court, promote pickleball for cadets at the Academy, and help fund the sport so the next generation of officers has access to it too.

Soldiers

Open to all USMA graduates, cadets, faculty, staff, and supporters.

MAJ Doug Miller (Ret.)
Founder
USMA Class of 2001

West Point taught them to endure joint pain. Pickleball just makes it fun.

After retiring from the Army, MAJ Doug Miller picked up a paddle in Columbus, Georgia and found something that felt familiar — competition, community, and a reason to keep showing up. He built an adult league, a youth league, and charity events that brought a city together around the sport.

On a visit back to West Point, he was inspired to create an organization to connect cadets, alumni, and supporters through pickleball.

Membership is free....and besides, you already paid for it with the best years of your life.
