Members interested in playing pickleball at the YMCA must take, and pass, a one-time balance evaluation offered by a member of the Health & Wellness staff. If no appointment times available suit your schedule, please reach out to Colin at [email protected] to schedule your evaluation.

Lessons provide a foundation and instruction to Pickleball that is rooted in fun, fitness, and fundamentals in a small group setting. Participants will improve on their knowledge of the rules of the game, skills, teamwork, and court positioning.

Lessons will occur monthly (approximately 4 lessons in a month). We offer both beginner lessons and lessons for those with prior pickleball experience.

Cost: $50 per month
