Do I need to bring any equipment?
All equipment you will need, will be provided at each session. We have a number of paddles available for use, along with balls and nets.
How did pickleball come about?
Pickleball was created in Washington by a group of friends looking to come up with a new game to entertain their children. The game they ended up with - the first to resemble the pickleball we know - was played in 1965 on a badminton court using table tennis paddles and a wiffle ball.
Do I have to become a member of the club?
No, there is no obligation to join the club. If you are a local your first session is free. For all sessions after that it is $10.00 per session.
