Pickleball 25/26


Group Description :
Pickleball is an indoor or outdoor racket/paddle sport where two players, or four players, hit a perforated hollow polymer ball over a 34 inch-high net using solid-faced paddles. This game is the fastest growing sport in the US and is expanding over. We have been playing now for a year and have an enthusiastic group who have a lot of fun !!! You will join a whatsapp group and each week there will be an invitation to play at a set time. New members can use a u3A bat for the first few sessions and then you will need to purchase your own racket ... Don't worry that you don't know how to play.....we will coach you...and its very easy !
