Interested in improving your pickleball game or just learning how to play? Last year approximately 19.8 million people in the U.S. played pickleball — a combo of tennis, table tennis and badminton — and the numbers are growing.

Join one of the free clinics available in select cities throughout the nation. Registration for each clinic will open two weeks before the clinic begins.

Each free clinic will include orientation, skill work and gameplay. Participants will be grouped with those who closely match their skill level.
