Pickleball

What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a hybrid of tennis, badminton and table tennis, pickleball is a fun, exciting game for people of all ages and abilities. It is played on the same size as a badminton court, using a shorter tennis-style net.

Games are in singles or doubles and players use paddles to hit a plastic ball between one another, usually playing up to 11 points. Learn more about the sport on Pickleball England website.

Pickleball Drop In

We have pickleball drop in sessions scheduled throughout the week to allow players of all abilities to come together and experience the game of Pickleball. Sessions are not facilitated so players arrange teams and matches amongst themselves. Paddles and balls will be provided so just come in comfortable clothes and suitable footwear. Please note this is an adult group session.

Social Coached Pickleball

Social pickleball sessions are facilitated by our fantastic coach, Simon, who selects a certain skill or combination of skills to focus on each week. These skills are broken down with a range of drills and activities to practice and players can apply the skill in match play at the end of the session. Simon will offer tips and guidance to all players.

Sessions can be adapted to all abilities so whether you are a new player trying to get to grips with the basics or a more experienced player looking to improve, you will be welcome at the session. Please note this is an adult group session and paddles can be provided.

Family Pickleball Drop In

Family pickleball drop in sessions are for parents, grandparents, children and the rest of the family to come along and play together and with other families. Paddles and balls will be provided so just come in comfortable clothes and suitable footwear.
