Kinetic Kids is a San Antonio-area nonprofit dedicated to providing children with disabilities opportunities to participate in recreational and competitive sports. Their programs give young athletes the chance to experience the confidence, friendships and joy that come from being part of a team.

One of the highlights of the evening was seeing more than 15 Cordillera Ranch staff members and their families volunteer their time to help make the event special. Our team picked up paddles, helped the kids learn and play pickleball, cheered them on, and spent the evening connecting with the athletes and their families.

With approximately 70 Kinetic Kids participants and family members, the courts were full of energy throughout the evening. Chloe Belle’s Shaved Ice also joined the celebration, providing a cool and delicious treat for everyone after time on the courts.

Events like this are at the heart of Cordillera Cares. We believe some of the greatest impact happens when our staff has the opportunity to personally connect with the local organizations and families we serve.

We are grateful to Kinetic Kids for allowing Cordillera Cares to be part of such a special evening, and especially proud of the Cordillera Ranch team members who stepped up to volunteer and make these young athletes and their families feel at home.

Thank you to everyone who helped us serve up a memorable start to the school year! 

More than 10 children and their families joined us at the Practice Park, where they enjoyed a one-hour golf clinic led by their trained Golf Instructor. Participants had the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the game while practicing both chipping and driving from the back dock of the Practice Park.

The smiles, laughter and excitement throughout the afternoon were a wonderful reminder of the impact that inclusive recreational opportunities can have on families. It was truly a joy to share our Club and the game of golf with these incredible children. The families expressed how much they enjoyed the experience, and our team was honored to help create lasting memories for everyone involved.

As part of our ongoing commitment to giving back through Cordillera Cares, we are excited to announce our next partnership event with Kinetic Kids.

Back-to-School Pickleball Party

Monday, July 20

We are gearing up to welcome approximately 20 Kinetic Kids and their families to the Ranch for a fun-filled evening celebrating the start of a new school year. The event will take place at the Pickleball Courts and will feature crafts, games, pickleball activities and plenty of opportunities for families to connect and enjoy time together. One of the evening’s highlights will be a visit from a snow cone truck, which is sure to be a favorite among the kids!

Members of the Cordillera Cares team will be on hand throughout the event to help with setup, activities, games and cleanup, ensuring a memorable experience for all who attend.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to partner with Kinetic Kids and support their mission of providing life-changing recreational and adaptive sports programs for children with disabilities. We look forward to welcoming these wonderful families back to the Ranch and creating another unforgettable evening together.

Thank you to all our staff who continues to support Cordillera Cares and helps make opportunities like these possible.
