    Pickleball- Mondays

    Posted on March 1, 2018 by Norwich

    Time: 1:00pm

    Pickleball is a paddle ball sport which combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis.  It is a fun game that is played on a badminton-sized court with the net lowered to 34 inches.  It is played with a plastic ball (similar to a wiffle ball) and a paddle.  It is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced competitive game for experienced players.  Stop by and check it out!  Beginners welcome!
