Pickleball is a cross between tennis and table tennis; it is played indoors on a badminton size court. This group is for Beginners ONLY. The physical activity is of a vigorous intensity e.g. running for a bus. Your heart and breathing rate is likely to increase to a much faster level, and you will need to breathe deeper. The physical agility is of a high level, requiring rapid changes of movement /direction when responding to the fast movement of the ball. Members will require good decision making skills, enabling them to make wise choices and judgements. Members will need to wear comfortable, loose clothing and gym shoes with a light coloured sole. Coached games and skills will be available, played in a friendly, supportive environment. Its good fun. Members are welcome to come and see what it is like to play, before applying to join the workshop.
