Pickleball, a game that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong, is sweeping the country. Pickleball players use wooden paddles and whiffle balls to play on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net. This low-impact sport is easier on the knees and shoulders than tennis as it does not involve as much running or arm strength. Pickleball is a recreational game that is designed to encourage an active lifestyle. We are offering two levels of beginner classes for interested seniors who want to play this easy-to-learn game.
