Pickleball
What is pickleball?
Pickleball is a fun sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. 2 or 4 players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, over a net.
Even though pickleball is like tennis, there are important differences that make pickleball especially more accessible for children and seniors.
Where can I do this?
At Cambourne Everyone Active, from 1pm to 3pm every Friday. The cost is £5.
New Age Kurling
What is New Age Kurling?
