What is Pickleball

A paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.

The Basics

  • A fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong.
  • Played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net.
  • Played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes.
  • Played as doubles or singles.

More Details:

  • Your session fee allows you to drop-in whenever you want. Come every week or drop in when it’s convenient! Bring a partner or team up with another single player to form a team.
  • Two courts will be set up so two games can be going at the same time. This is a doubles game, two players per team, four players per court.
  • All levels are welcome! Seasoned players can help beginners learn the basics. Beginners will learn the game fairly quickly.
  • Bring your own Pickleball paddle or borrow one of ours for the evening.
