Curious About Pickleball? Start Here.
If you’ve been hearing the buzz and thinking, “Maybe I should try this pickleball thing…” — this is your moment.
Our Intro to Pickleball sessions are built just for beginners (or anyone who wants a friendly refresh). No pressure, no experience needed — just a paddle, a court, and a great time learning something new.
We keep groups small and welcoming, so you can learn the basics at a comfortable pace. You’ll get hands-on instruction from our coaches on how to hold the paddle, serve, rally, score, and move safely — with lots of chances to play along the way. By the end, you’ll know the rules and feel like a real player.
We provide the paddles and balls. You bring the curiosity.
You’ll leave with confidence and maybe a few new pickleball friends too.

Dartmouth — Every second Thursday, 7:00–9:00 PM
