What is Pickleball?

-

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a Wiffle Ball, over a net.

Those that have never played may wish to come and learn the basics any Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in August from 9:30-Noon. Drop-in fee is required. This is a friendly sport and other players will ensure you learn the basics.
