Pickleball is a fun and fast-paced paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It is typically played on a rectangular court with the same dimensions as a badminton court. The game is usually played as a doubles sport, but singles play is also common. Players use solid paddles to hit a plastic ball over the net, aiming to score points by making the ball land within the opponent's court. Pickleball is known for its accessibility, making it suitable for players of all ages and skill levels, and it has gained widespread popularity for its engaging and social nature.

As the club has grown, we are now able to run various sessions targeted at specific abilities and playing styles. From steady paced recreation sessions with slower balls to full on highly intensity sessions for those wanting full on hard play.
We are part of the South West league and regularly host the event at our facilities in Weymouth. We also host numerous friendly matches throughout the year against other local teams.
The club isn't only a great way to get your sport fix, it is a also a fantistic way to meet new people and socialise. As the club grows we are fitting more and more purely social events into the calendar from quiz nights to summer barbecues.
