Pickleball Gloucestershire

  Coming to Oxstalls soon!

 

Some good news the lighting is going to be upgraded over the next few weeks. Bad news , the graded on the 23rd and 30th of September will go back to only 20 spots as they need the space while working on the lights. Good news that from October the 7th we have secured court 5 every week moving forward and from then we can go to a regular 30 spots graded session.  Thanks for your understanding and support to make this successful  Thanks Ian and team

 

 Hi all  I would like to thank everyone who came to are first Friday evening session the atmosphere was great and some good pickleball was played. These sessions will be run every Friday 7.30pm to 9.30pm looking forward to the next one already.

Why Everyone is Obsessed with Pickleball (And How You Can Join the Fun) Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the world. It mixes tennis, badminton, and ping-pong into one fast, fun game. You can learn the basics in five minutes, but you can play it for a lifetime. What Makes Pickleball So Special? Easy to play: The court is small. The ball moves slow. Anyone can join in. Great workout: You run, stretch, and jump without hurting your joints. Super social: People chat, laugh, and hang out courtside. It builds a tight local community. Low cost: You just need a basic paddle and a plastic ball to start. Three Quick Tips for Your First Game Master the dink: Do not smash every ball. A soft, short shot right over the net wins points. Stay out of the kitchen: Remember that the non-volley zone near the net is off-limits for slamming. Keep your paddle up: Be ready at the chest level for fast returns. Grab a friend, find a local court, and see what the noise is all about!
