Pickleball, considered a combination of badminton, tennis, and ping-pong, is the fastest-growing sport in the US. Pickleball is easy to learn, fun, and supportive of physical fitness and community connection.

In this fun-filled workshop with pickleball teacher Francis Comesanas, you hit the courts to learn rules, scoring, different types of shots, and basic strategy.

Over the weekend, you learn the basics of:

  • Rules and scoring
  • Types of shots, including serves, returns, dinks, volleys, and lobs
  • Useful drills
  • Basic strategy

Equipment will be provided, but if you have a paddle, please bring it, along with a water bottle.

This workshop is appropriate for those new to the game as well as those who have started playing and are looking to hone their skills.
