Pickleball

Pickleball is a fun low impact racquet sport that incorporates elements of badminton and tennis for two or four players. It’s an easy-to-learn game that is played on a court similar to a tennis court but half the size. Pickleball is fun for players of all ages and level of activity that can start slow for beginners or pick up the pace for advanced players. Enjoy the camaraderie of a social game, or get a taste of competitive play.
