Pickleball - The Funnest Racket Sport For Anyone To Try

This is the funnest racket sport for anyone to try. A cross between tennis, badminton and table tennis (or ping pong), pickleball is played on a badminton doubles-sized court using paddles and a hollow, plastic ball with holes in it. (Also known as a wiffle ball). The net is slightly lower than a tennis net. The rules, equipment and court size are specifically designed to create a fast, fun and more rallying game. Pickleball is ideally suited to those who may be finding the tennis court a bit too big or the badminton shuttle a little too high, to those recovering from injuries, and as a family game where those of different ages, heights and abilities can all play happily together. Easy to learn, but difficult to master, and very addictive!

This is a free activity to give a go and we'll provide the rackets and balls (and some great people to show you how to play). Spaces are limited so book early to secure your spot.

Pickleball is a physical sport, and requires holding a racket and moving around a court. Anyone with difficulty with those aspects may find it difficult to play.

You have the choice of staying for the whole duration or just part of the time (5pm-8pm). You can start or leave whenever you feel like it too.

The venue where this activity is held has wheelchair access and is near to public transport.
