Pickleball
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It’s played on a badminton-sized court with a net similar to a tennis net, and uses a paddle similar to a ping-pong paddle but larger and made of more advanced materials. The ball is a perforated hollow plastic ball that’s similar to a plastic whiffle ball.
The YMCA of Greater Toledo offers Pickleball classes and clinics for all skill levels, open play times and leagues. At the YMCA, we play Pickleball because we want to have fun, exercise and interact with other players in a good-natured manner. Players of all ability levels are welcome, and new players are welcomed with a smile and introduction.
