Community Care is pleased to offer adults of all ages the chance to enjoy pickleball – the great game with the strange name!
Pickleball is a court game that is a cross between tennis, badminton and table tennis. It can be played indoors or out, on a badminton-sized court with a plastic wiffle ball and paddles similar to those used in racquetball. Those looking to get or keep active throughout the year are encouraged to try this fun, recreational activity!
Please note there is no pre-registration required for Pickleball. We encourage you to drop into a session and check out Pickleball for yourself!
