What Is Pickleball?

Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis into a fast-paced and highly social game that is easy to learn and great fun to play. It’s become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world because almost anyone can pick it up quickly.

You don’t need previous experience, specialist equipment or a high fitness level to get started. The social nature of the game means you’ll play with different people throughout the evening, making it a fantastic way to meet new people naturally.

Perfect For Beginners

Never played pickleball before? Perfect.

The first two club sessions will be fully coached, helping you learn the rules, understand scoring and build confidence on court.

Our experienced coach will guide you through everything you need to know, making this the ideal introduction to the sport.

We have four courts available, ensuring plenty of playing time throughout the evening.

Equipment is provided.

Simply turn up and have fun.
