Considered one of America’s fastest growing sports, pickleball is a mini version of tennis played on a badminton-size court. The sport may have a funny name, but the competition is serious! Players can expect a fast-paced game, great exercise, and lots of fun. Pickleball is easy to learn and considered less complicated than tennis with longer-lasting rallies. Johnson County alone boasts over 150 pickleball players whose ages range mostly in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. Paddles and balls will be supplied, but please wear appropriate clothing and shoes. After class, the gym will remain open for an extra hour of free practice. Cost is $10 for Friends Club members and $15 for non-members. Space is limited to 9 students.
