Pickleball (Bring Pickleball Paddle)   

Participants will learn the rules and procedure for how to play the fastest-growing sport in America: PICKLEBALL! But mostly you will have fun. Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis using solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. All you need to bring is yourself and a bottle of water. Pickleballs will be provided. Please bring your own paddle. T shirts, shorts, and sneakers are your best bet for added comfort.
