| When: | Weekly on Tuesdays 4:30 pm-6:00 pm |
| Venue: | Mary Webb School, Pontesbury |
| Cost: | This is £5 per session, but payment in advance is welcome as the hall hire needs to be paid in advance for each term. Members can pay for 6 weeks in advance – 6 x £5 = £30. Your payment will entitle you to 6 sessions of play, whenever you decide to use them. They need not be concurrent and can be used to pay for either a Tuesday or Thursday session. They can also be carried over until the next term, if necessary. No-one will lose out. Alternatively, you can pay as you go if you prefer. |
Equipment: Please bring along your pickleball paddles and balls if you have them, but there are paddles available if you forget or are a beginner. Also, don't forget to bring along your drinking water and appropriate non-slip trainers.
Please see below for more information about the fantastically fun game of Pickleball.
We run two Pickleball sessions; one on a Tuesday afternoon and the other on Thursday afternoon.
NB: The first 30 minutes of the Tuesday session is set aside to practice pickleball shots. The rest of the time is for playing games, giving time to practice the points
raised in the drills. For this reason, we encourage new members to come along on a Tuesday in the first instance.
If you have any queries about either group or would like to join, please contact Judy (Tuesday) or Helen (Thursday), the joint-coordinators, via the contact links on each page.
