The World’s fastest-growing sport is now a clinic your kids will love. Pickleball has been described as a combination of tennis, badminton & ping pong. Pickleball helps kids learn hand-eye coordination, agility & balance, and provides social interaction in a team setting. Kids will have so much fun they do not realize the cardiovascular benefits they are receiving, which can improve mood and mental wellness. This beginner camp teaches the fundamentals of serving and receiving the ball, volleying, dinking, positioning, and scoring.
