Adult Pickleball Programs
We are looking forward to a GREAT Season!
Pickleball is a fun sport for all ages. This popular activity is played on a modified tennis court with the net lowered to 34 inches at the center. It is played with a perforated plastic ball (similar to a whiffle ball) and composite or wooden paddle. It is easy for beginners to learn and can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.
