Pickleball

Pickleball is a fun racquet sport that incorporates elements of badminton and tennis for two to four players, who use small wooden paddles to hit a perforated plastic ball over the net. It’s an easy-to-learn game that is played on a court like a tennis court but half the size. Pickleball is fun for players of all ages and level of activity, and can start slow for beginners or pick up the pace for advanced players. These low impact workouts promote adult and kids’ health.

Included with Apex Center Daily Admission Fee.
