Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the country. It’s a cross between tennis, table tennis, racquetball and badminton, and it can be enjoyed by all age groups, and played at many different levels. It’s played on a court the size of a badminton court with a small paddle and a whiffle ball.
The health benefits of pickleball include weight loss, lower blood pressure, and increased stamina. It is a natural progression for tennis and racquetball players who want to continue playing a net sport without the physical stress of those two activities on the knees and other joints.
The Club has seventeen Pickleball courts and organizes play during the week in a round robin format, with pick-up games in the afternoons and on weekends.
