Pickleball Tennis
Come and play – Monday’s at 7pm all equipment provided
Pickleball is a mash-up of tennis, badminton and ping-pong and can be played by singles or in pairs, either indoors or outside.
The aim of the game is to get the ball over the net and prevent your opponent from hitting it back.
Players use hard paddles a little bigger than ping-pong bats, and a light plastic ball called a wiffle ball to play.
The term kitchen refers to the no-volley zone and dinking is a soft shot that sends the other player scrambling towards the net to reach the ball in time.
Pickleball – essential vocab:
Wiffle ball – The light plastic ball that you play with, full of holes
Paddle – The bat that you play with
Kitchen – The area that you can’t volley in – you have to let the ball bounce before you can hit it
Dinking – A soft shot that will end up in front of the opposition’s kitchen, so they have to run quickly to save the ball
