What is this?
Six neighbours, one badminton court, masking tape and two borrowed paddles. That was 2023.
Three years on we hire three courts and run four sessions a week. The rule hasn't changed: anyone who turns up gets a game.
Pickleball is played with a light paddle and a plastic ball with holes in it, on a court a third the size of a tennis court. It is easy to start and kind to the joints, which is why grandparents, parents and teenagers end up on the same side of the net.
We are a non-profit association run by volunteers. Fees and donations pay for court hire, nets, balls, and coaching for our juniors.
