mornings from 9AM – Noon. Training

Pickleball, the fastest growing adult
sport in the country, is a fun game that
is played on a badminton court with the
net lowered to 34 inches at the center. It is
played with a perforated plastic baseballsized ball (similar to a whiffle ball) and
wood or composite paddles. It is easy for
beginners to learn, but can develop into
a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for
experienced players. The game is popular
with seniors but can be enjoyed by all.
Tennis, racquetball and ping-pong players
love the competitive nature of the sport
and regularly participate in competitive
tournaments.
