Pickleball

Pickleball is a racquet sport which combines badminton, tennis and table tennis. The sport is played on a smaller court with a net that’s just a bit lower than a tennis net and is played with a hard paddle and a wiffle ball.

Pickleball is accessible to a wider range of players than tennis, particularly children and seniors, because it is played on a smaller court and the speed of pickleball is slower than that of tennis. If you haven’t played before, we’ll teach you. If you have played, we’ll provide good competition!
