PICKELBALL

Pickelball is a fast-growing paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. This game is fast-paced, easy to learn, and incredibly fun to play because of the long scrimmages that take place throughout the game. Pickelball is usually played as a doubles match. Singles matches are also very popular and interesting for players looking for a bigger challenge.

The size of the pickelball court is exactly the same as that of badminton. The racket is different from the tennis racket, short, without strings. The official surface of the pickleball court is a hard tennis surface, but the advantage is that you can also compete in other spaces with a solid base: tennis courts, basketball arenas, on asphalt.

Join the Pickelball games on Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. I-116 in the gym.
