The popularity of pickleball has soared in recent years. Pickleball combines tennis, table tennis and badminton: needless to say, it gets intense quickly, but it’s so much fun. Pickleball is a fast-paced sport that is easier on the joints and quicker to learn than other racquet sports. If you’ve never played pickleball before, start out on the right foot with one of our beginner lessons. Lessons cover everything you need to know to get started with the sport. This includes basic techniques, rules and strategies. If you have played pickleball before or any racquet sport, you should register for the intermediate level class. Intermediate level skills and drills will be used in this class. All equipment provided. Ages 16+

All ages are invited to play in this program. Pickleball is a combination of tennis and badminton played on a badminton sized court with lightweight paddles and plastic perforated balls (much like wiffle balls). These elements produce exciting, long rallies which consist of volleys at the net and ground strokes similar to tennis. Pickleball is a great equalizer for differences in age, strength and athletic ability. Equipment is available.
