Pickleball is a fun sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. It is played either indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, over a net.

We play at Meadowside on the indoor courts. We welcome all standards including absolute beginners. We can lend you a paddle - you just need to wear non-marking court shoes.
