Pickleball
We have been playing Pickleball at Hucknall LC for over six years. It’s a racket sport played on a badminton court, with a low net and an air ball. It’s a low impact sport but can still be energetic and we play doubles as it suits our abilities, and we get longer rallies.
We play on Mondays 12noon – 2pm and on Thursdays 2pm-4pm (please note Thursday group is full).
We can supply equipment for those who want to ‘give it a go’.
