Through games, drills and on-court coaching, our fun-filled clinics will teach the fundamentals of pickleball and stroke development! Washrooms may not be available, so please ensure your child uses the washroom before attending.
We’re also offering private lessons directly following the clinics from 3-4pm. Our Private Lessons page will launch soon, in the meantime please email jeremy@pickleplayground.ca for information.
FAQs
The Playing Experience
-
Pickleball is easy to learn, a blast to play, and promotes physical activity and social interaction. The game is played on a smaller court than tennis, which allows for quick rallies and lots of movement. The lighter ball and smaller paddles make it easier for kids to control and hit the ball, leading to a sense of accomplishment and confidence.
-
Our maximum player to coach ratio is 6:1.
-
Our summer program is held on true, purpose-built pickleball courts.
