PICKLEBALL -

Pickleball is fun, social and friendly! The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a fast-paced, competitive game.

WHY PLAY IT?

  1. A fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.
  2. Played outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net.
  3. Played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes.
  4. Played as doubles or singles.
  5. Can be enjoyed by all ages and skill levels (our sessions are currently for adults)

NO NEED TO BOOK - Pay and you play
