🎾 About the Program
Welcome to Pickleball, the fastest-growing sport in the country — and one of the easiest and most fun to learn! A mix of tennis, ping pong, and badminton, Pickleball is perfect for young players of all skill levels. With lightweight paddles, wiffle balls, and smaller courts, kids quickly learn to rally, stay active, and build confidence.
In this upbeat, movement-focused program, players will learn to serve, return, volley, and score points — all while practicing teamwork, coordination, and sportsmanship. Whether it’s their first swing or they’re already paddling like pros, everyone has a blast in the pickleball zone!
