A Great Way to Meet Your Neighbors
Pickleball is about more than exercise. It's an inherently social sport, making it a great way to meet people and build friendships. Pickle U offers open play, where players can sign up for available spots and rotate in with other players of similar ability. If you're new to pickleball, don't worry. You don't need to be an experienced athlete to get started. Pickleball is easy to learn, while still providing plenty of opportunity to improve your skills as you play.
