PICKLEBALL IS ON:
WEDNESDAYS AT 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM & SUNDAYS 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Pickleball, was created for all skill levels, combining the elements of tennis, ping pong, and badminton. The rules are simple, the game is easy to learn, it’s tons of fun, and a decent workout.
While Pickleball can be a competitive workout, it’s easy to learn and play! Pickleball is played on a court smaller than a tennis court with a net, a paddle and a ball similar to that of a Wiffle ball. You can play inside or outside or even create your own makeshift court. You can play singles or doubles and the scoring and rules are easy to follow. To learn the rules of Pickleball and more about the sport, visit www.usapa.org.
