Pickleball is a paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. Pickleball combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong and is the fastest growing sport in America. Played as doubles or singles, it's no wonder this game is catching on around the world. Participants will cover how the game is played, the equipment involved, where the game can be played, how to properly strike and serve the ball, and successful playing strategies. Registrations are limited to 12 participants per session and will be on a first come, first served basis. A waitlist will be started when necessary.
