Pickleball

CAN YOU HAN-DILL THE PICKLE?

The craze that is sweeping the nation has made it to the YMCA of Greater Erie….PICKLEBALL!!

Pickleball is a paddleball sport (similar to a racquet sport) that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, with 26-40 round holes, over a net.

We offer Adult Open Play times & Adult Instructional Sessions for members (see branch specific schedules below) as well as an Adult League for everyone and instructional clinics for the kiddos, too!
