[NYC] Intro to Pickleball: Learn the Basics, Play Real Games

Join us for a beginner pickleball session, taught by experienced coaches who will take you from basics to real games.

This next chapter is all about making time for the things you've been curious about, and pickleball has been on many of our members' lists. Whether you've never held a paddle or you've been meaning to try, this session is designed for you.

What to expect: The 2 hour indoor session will cover rules, scoring, covering the basics (dinking, volleying, serving), live ball (ball in play and players play out points), then real games!
No experience necessary. Paddles and balls are provided, so just come in comfortable clothes and sneakers.

Please note: There's a $10 reservation fee for this event. With limited spots and coaches committed to the session, it helps us make sure everyone who signs up shows up ready to play.
