Adult Pickleball
Adult Pickleball Club
Pickleball is America's fastest growing sport. The sport is played on a court similar to a badminton court using a perforated plastic baseball (comparable to a wiffleball) and wood or composite paddles. It is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. Though extremely popular with the 55 and older group, anyone 18 years and older is welcome to participate.
The game of pickleball can help you stay active and healthy while providing hours of social entertainment and enjoyment. Bring your own paddle, although there may be a few to borrow if needed. Need an overview of how the game is played. Learn more about the basic rules of the game on the USA Pickleball website.
