Participants will learn and practice basic pickleball fundamentals such as dinking, serving, returning the serve, volleys, and transition shots.
Each week, players will engage in fun games to practice their skills. Players should come with a basic knowledge of the rules of pickleball and how to keep score, proper court footwear, a full water bottle, and a paddle. Some paddles will be available for use.
Warning: Pickleball is addicting! Signs include laughing, sweating and making new friends along the way!
