NOTE TO BEGINNERS: There are no formal lessons given at this social. We ask beginners to familiarize themselves with the rules before coming out if you can. 2 Quick ways to get started:
- The Official USA Pickleball Website
- Take 2 minutes and watch this 2 minute video a few times and you'll understand more than you think: https://youtu.be/fTvPYdKZqO0. Lastly, there are loaner paddles at the court or borrow one from a friend.
