Senior Sports

Senior Sports

Pickleball

What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a fun sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, over a net.

We run drop in sessions at Hendon - view our timetable and book now!

Senior Racquet Sport

We also have a drop in session to play everyone's sport of choice on the day. You could play Badminton, Table Tennis, Short Tennis or some more Pickleball!

This is an open session that all are welcome to, so if you don't have a partner to play with, this is perfect for you.
