Ages 7–14

Easy to learn.
Hard to put down.

Pickleball is the quickest racquet sport for a kid to get good at. The court is small, the paddle is light and the ball is slow, so they are rallying in the first session instead of chasing. What they build from there — hand skills, court sense, the nerve to play a point out — carries into every other sport they play.

Groups are split by age so the coaching fits, and capped at 16 players a session so everyone gets touches. Four of our 8 courts are covered, so classes run rain or shine.
