Game of Pickleball

Gear up for the 2024 Villages Senior Games! Pickleball, swimming, shuffleboard – find your sport and compete in a week of friendly fun.

Pickleball's allure lies in its accessibility, but is it truly beginner-friendly? Fear not! While prior experience helps, the smaller court, slower pace, and forgiving paddles make it easier than tennis. Start with basic grips, serves, and rallies, then progress to dinks and lobs. Embrace the learning journey, find a supportive partner, and remember: fun is the key ingredient!

In this ultimate guide, we'll help you navigate the world of pickleball equipment and find the best pickleball set for beginners.

NYC's pickleball scene is a vibrant tapestry! Dive into free public courts like Central Park's North Meadow or sweat it out at dedicated facilities like NYU's indoor courts. Test your skills in upcoming tournaments like the NYC Pickleball Open or join a friendly league in the Fall Season. Colleges and private clubs like CityPickle offer upscale options, while Meetup groups and online communities connect you with fellow enthusiasts. Grab your paddle, explore your options, and conquer the concrete jungle, one dink at a time!
