Pickleball

Pickleball takes place every Friday after school for all year groups. Pickleball is a paddle sport blending tennis, badminton and table-tennis skills. It is played on a badminton-sized court with a low net, using solid paddles and a plastic ball. A rally starts with an underhand serve and players are not allowed to volley in the "kitchen" (non-volley zone) near the net. Only the serving team can score points and the winners are the first to reach 11 points.  Pickleball is played in pairs and is accessible for all ages and all abilities, so come and join in!
