If you are looking to start playing the fabulous game of Pickleball for the first time you will probably be best joining one of the many clubs and organisations that have sprung up all over the UK. Don't worry about being a beginner, clubs are very welcoming and most will take the time to show you the ropes and get you playing pickleball.
A good place to start looking for your local club is on the Pickleball England club locator which can be found here.
With the growing popularity of pickleball you might just find your local club is full and temporarily unable to take new members. Not to worry if this is the case, if you want to start playing with a group of your friends then all you need is a few paddles, some balls and a badminton court at your local leisure centre to get you started. Just lower the net to the regulation height and off you go.
You can contact us at Pickleball World for advice on the best pickleball equipment for beginners and new groups.
