Come along and have Fun playing Pickleball At Pettigrew Arena on Thursdays 10am - noon
PICKLEBALL is the fastest growing sport in the World.....So what is this game with the funny name?? Its a paddle sport created for a wide range of ages, athletic abilities and fitness levels.. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, ideally suited to seniors who want some fun exercise and social interaction or teenagers who are not really "sporty" For those who are ex Tennis, Squash or Badminton players, Pickleball is easier on your body but can still develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game. Pickleball has many health benefits as well, such as increased mood and overall mental health, you burn calories, and fewer injuries occur due to the low-impact nature of the game. Pickleball specifically works on balance and agility, while offering the same benefits of other regular exercise such as reducing your risk of heart attack and chronic disease, toning your muscles and increasing your energy. “The best thing about Pickleball is that it provides socialization and activity at the same time.


The Basics

A fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.



Played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net.



Played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes.



Played as doubles, singles and even triples.



Check out our FB page "PIckleball Hawkes Bay" or watch this short (10min) video below which shows the benefits of Pickleball for any age.
