Pickleball
Contact: Don Hayes, dhayes0715@

Pickleball is a fun, active game that
combines the elements of tennis,
badminton and ping pong. Played on a
doubles’ badminton court with paddles
and a perforated plastic ball, all it requires
are workout clothes, court shoes and a
desire to play the game. Whether you
are new to pickleball or are a seasoned
veteran with tournament experience, we
have a level of play suited to your needs.
Our club offers a free introductory training
class that is open to all residents. The class
provides a fundamental overview of the
rules of the game and an opportunity for
you to try the game out to see if it is for
you. We provide the paddles and balls.
Should you decide to join the club, we also
sponsor a Beginner’s Mentoring Program,
in which some of our more experienced
players assist newcomers with skill
development and basic court strategy. Of
course, the best way to become proficient
at pickleball is to actually play the game.
More experienced players can improve
participating in scheduled tournaments.
Come on out and discover why pickleball
has become the fastest growing sport in
America. Find out what more than 2.4
million players already know. Contact our
Player Development Director, Peg O’Toole
