What: 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, skilful competitive game. It combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. It is played on a badminton-sized court with a small net dividing the court. It can be played as doubles and singles. Pickleball is a sport for ALL ages and ALL abilities !
We've been running regular Pickleball sessions for members and non-members at Wishel since April 2024 and now have over 170 registered players.
Social: Social Pickleball sessions run each Saturday from 3.15pm, to 5.15pm, and Tuesday evening from 6:30pm to 9.30pm split into two groups. We cater for all standards from novice to experienced players, across 4 pickleball courts.
Improve: We also run play and tactics sessions for improvers and for more experienced players. We arrange competitive matches with other clubs in Surrey for those interested in competitive play.
