Pickleball

This new game is a mixture between badminton and short tennis, playable indoors and out, with paddles and a polymer ball. It is massive in the US and spreading fast here with over 100 u3a groups and player numbers increased last year in the UK by 65 per cent to 45000.

We play mixed ability doubles changing partners and opposition regularly. The game is great fun and concentrates more on strategy and placing rather than strength. It is easy to learn and we provide tuition and all equipment. There is fee for court hire paid in advance per term.

The next term starts on January 9th running to March 27th. with 28 members playing on four courts. There are a couple of vacancies so contact the Group Leader if interested.

Last term we branched by arranging professional tuition at additional cost on one of our courts for members who wished to develop their game.

We are canvassing interest for a new group playing at the same time on Tuesdays. If interested please contact the group leader.
