Dates set for IOM Pickleball Festival

Tournament to take place at NSC 9-10 September

A brand new festival dedicated to one of the fastest growing racket sports is taking place at the NSC next month.

The Inaugural Isle of Man Pickleball Festival is running over Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September, 8:30am-6pm. 

If you haven't played or heard of Pickleball before, it's a mix of tennis, table-tennis, and badminton, which pits two or four players against one another to hit a perforated ball over a net on a court about half the size of a tennis court and can be played indoors or out-of-doors.  

During the festival, 8 courts will be set up for competitors both local and from off-Island. 

The aim of this festival is to promote the growth and development of Pickleball in the Isle of Man.

More details on how to get involved can be found on the Isle of Man Pickleball Association Facebook page.
