Pickleball session for all to be held at NSC

The world's fastest growing racquet sport is soon celebrating its national day and you are being encouraged to give it a try.

Monday, 10 October is World Pickleball Day. 

What's Pickleball I hear you ask?

It's a paddle sport, similar to tennis, where two or four players hit a hollow ball over a 36-inch-high net.

World Pickleball Day is designed to continue growing the sport and the Isle of Man is no exception. 

On Sunday (9 Oct) people of all ages and abilities are invited to give Pickleball a go at the NSC between 3-5 for free. 

No previous experience is needed and equipment will be provided. 

You can find out more about Pickleball here. 

For more information about the free session at the NSC on Sunday, 9 October, email chrismanx@gmail.com
