Pickleball
Fast becoming one of the most popular racket sports in the world, pickleball brings together some of the best elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, into a fun and exciting game for people of all ages and abilities.
Played on a court the same size as a badminton court – and using a shorter tennis-style net – players use paddles to hit a plastic ball between one another. It can be played as both singles or doubles but we tend to stick to doubles as it suits our fitness levels better! It’s a great way to exercise with friends and meet new people.
While there are many similarities with tennis, there are some key differences. For example, the ball has to bounce once on each side before you can volley and you can’t play volleys from inside the kitchen!
We currently have three different groups, all playing at Hucknall Leisure Centre:
Mondays 12 – 2pm
A fun and sociable mixed ability group, open to new members.
