Any adult that would like to learn/play Pickleball should meet each Wednesday at 6 p.m. or Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Lion’s Park tennis courts. All supplies and instructions will be provided. Rain site is the Bluffton City Gym.

Pickleball is a paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. This sport combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong and is played on a badminton-sized court with a paddle and a plastic ball.
