Pickleball

Discover the excitement of Pickleball, included in your membership at our gym! This rapidly growing, fast-paced game is capturing attention nationwide.

Pickleball combines elements of badminton, tennis, and ping pong, played on a court with dimensions similar to a doubles badminton court. The net, slightly lower than a tennis net, adds to the unique challenge. Using a paddle and a polymer ball, Pickleball is easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all skill levels.

Join us for the fun! Guests can purchase Punch Cards at our front desk, and we offer lessons and skill development to enhance your game. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to stay active and engaged at The Sports Center of Morehead!
