Pickleball
Try Pickleball, ...the fastest growning racquet sport in America! *
A group of enthusiastic player-volunteers have spearheaded the addition of our latest activity, Pickleball.
The Rules are a "cross" between the rules of tennis and badminton. The game is played with a wiffleball and a paddle on our modified, platform tennis courts. Both the game and the rules are easy to learn and players agree that it is great fun!

* You Tube "pickleball nationals" to watch how the game is played!
