Pickleball is a seriously addictive, fun and friendly sport suitable for all ages that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. The courts are smaller than a tennis court and the racquets and balls are lighter. It’s a low impact sport and a great way to get fit, have fun and make new friends. The sport is proving to be so popular, that Bradley Stoke now has four outdoor pickleball courts marked out at the Jubilee Centre.
You can come and try out the sport yourself, or watch it being played, at the Community Festival on Saturday 4th June 2022 from 11.30am to 4pm. The taster sessions are open to adults and children aged 12 and over. It’s easy to learn and beginners are particularly welcome; most of us have only started playing in the last two years. Just wear trainers and comfortable clothes, all equipment is provided.
If you have any questions about the taster sessions at the festival or wish to find out more about the sport of pickleball, please contact info@avonpickleball.club or visit the Avon Pickleball website.
