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.

We are starting the 10 week Autumn Term on September 12 playing on all four of the centre’s courts with 29 players. There are a couple of vacancies so please contact the Group Leader if interested.

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