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?
- A fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.
- Played 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.
- Can be enjoyed by all ages and skill levels (our sessions are currently for adults)
NO NEED TO BOOK - Pay and you play
