Pickle Ball ​


Pickle Ball has been adopted two million people internationally, from grandparents to grandkids alike. Opponents play this easy-paced game on a court using a light wooden paddle to pop a hollow ball (think “Wiffle ball”) over a net and score points much like in ping-pong or tennis. Thanks to our members and our towns, we now have indoor and outdoor sites.
