It’s low-impact aerobic exercise. Our main purpose is to have fun, learn something new, stay active and meet new people.
Pickleball was created in 1965 on Bainbridge Island outside of Seattle, Washington. People played in their backyards on hard surfaces and driveways. Since the mid-1970’s Pickleball has grown from a family activity game to a sport with formalized rules and is played both indoors and out.
