Played on a badminton-sized court with a paddle and a lightweight plastic ball, pickleball is easy to learn, fun to play, and offers a great way to stay active and social.
Pickleball can be played outdoor or indoor and as singles (2 players) & doubles (4 players).
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, pickleball provides a perfect mix of strategy, skill, and athleticism. It’s ideal for family fun, friendly competition, and even serious sports enthusiasts looking to sharpen their reflexes and footwork.

What our players say about the sessions:
Pickleball is very addictive! Having played tennis, badminton and squash for the last 30 years, I knew this would be right up my street. Great doubles games with friends, competitive and plenty of exercise – while having lots of fun.
I enjoyed my first game of pickleball. The scoring took a while to get used to, but it was a great workout both physically and mentally. The sessions were mixed around well with the newer players gaining experience but also the stronger players being challenged. Looking forward to some coaching to compliment the sessions.
I had the pleasure of attending the pickleball taster at Ashdown, – it was a great experience. The group were friendly and Kirsty showed tremendous enthusiasm and encouragement and made sure the whole group was engaged and having fun.
The atmosphere at the Sir David English Sports Centre session was really positive and everyone was actively involved. I would highly recommend attending a session with Kirsty for anyone looking to improve their pickleball game she explains things well and is a very motivated and friendly Coach.
