Pickleball 101 for Seniors
Thanks to a subsidy provided by the Senior Center, Parks and Recreation and the Senior Center have come together to offer a low-cost opportunity for seniors to explore the world of pickleball. We are thrilled to be able to offer this program specifically for seniors looking for a way to get outside, stay active, learn something new, and have fun with friends all at the same time!
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, and is suitable for players of all ages and skill levels.
Discover the joy of pickleball in a supportive, social setting! Created especially for seniors, this class will be taught differently than our regular beginner classes. Designed with balance and mobility in mind, our instructor will adapt activities to create a safe, enjoyable and confidence-building experience. This program includes guided instruction, all necessary equipment, and optional breaks between play. Come learn the basics, enjoy light activity, and connect with others—no experience required.
Paddles and balls are available for use during the lessons. Each session meets once a week for 5 weeks. Classes are limited to eight students.
