We are delighted to bring PICKLEBALL to the John Willie Sams Centre. Pickleball brings together some of the best elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, into a fun and exciting game played on a badminton size court, as there can be less movement required it is a great way for all ages and abilities.

What is pickleball?

Pickleball is easy to learn, fun to play and is a great way to stay active.

One of the fastest-growing sports in the world, pickleball is suitable for people of all ages and abilities and is a very social activity that you can play with family and friends, while also giving you the opportunity to meet new people.

The game is exciting, challenging and offers a good workout. In fact, one 30-minute game of pickleball can burn up to 300 calories.  

What should I wear?

You can wear anything to play pickleball. We’d recommend any type of sportswear and some comfy trainers – we provide the paddle, balls etc.
