 Pickleball 

Pickleball is an extremely popular sport which combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. It is played in a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court and is played with a hard paddle and a whiffle ball. This smaller area combined with the slower moving ball makes pickleball easier to play than tennis. Please note, this is not an instructional program and it is singles only with a maximum of 12 players per program. You will need to pre-register for this program and registration will be open for the following week every Tuesday.
