Taster Sessions

Perfect for those who are curious to pick up a paddle, get on a court and learn the basics of game but have not yet decided whether to join the club or starting our coaching programme.  The session is tutored by one of our club members, including our men’s club captain, and you only pay £5 per person for use of the court and equipment.  A perfect way of finding out whether pickleball is the sport for you.  If you are interested, please email: PickleballBRTC@gmail.com

Social Play

Through the winter months we run 3 social sessions one Sunday morning, one Tuesday evening at an indoor venue close by and one Thursday lunchtime.  These are recreational pickleball sessions suitable for all levels.  They also offer great opportunities to meet other players and join other smaller social groups that play throughout the week.  As soon as daylight hours permit, we move our evening sessions back outdoors

Tournament Play

The club is yet to embark on tournament play within a regional league.  In 2026, we will reach out to other clubs in the area to gain our first experience of tournament play.  We will use this experience to explore entering a regional/local league in 2027.

Our first club tournament took place in December 2025 and, for those members interested in playing pickleball at a more competitive level, we will be running additional doubles tournaments during 2026 and beyond.  We will also be introducing coaching sessions specifically for those members interested in playing in tournaments.
