Pickle ball
During the month of February we had a brilliant opportunity to bring in a well-loved sport and one of the most highly requested sports at Hatfield Leisure Centre.
So now we welcome PICKLEBALL.
It was launched in partnership with Pickleball England and the national campaign on the 29th of February. The campaign raised awareness of the sport by offering a free Pickleball social session. We kick started the day by introducing new customers to the game, educating them on the rules and how to play at a social level. Everyone was welcome to try the free session. We had some great feedback from previous Tennis and Badminton players that came in to give it a try.
Pickleball is a 2-4 player game and is a mixture of Badminton, Tennis and Table Tennis. It is a very approachable game and a great picker-upper. It requires little to no practice, even at an athletic level it’s very enjoyable. Our community loves the sessions as the sport is easy on the body and isn’t high risk in injury but it will help you work up a sweat with a smile on your face. Pickleball is not only easy to physically play but there are ONLY 5 basic rules that you need to know to understand the game, it’s so easy there’s almost no excuses.
It’s a great way to make friends surrounded in a friendly competitive atmosphere, while also racking up around 7000 to 10,000 steps in only 90 minutes!!
So, if you love any of them come and join us for a game! It’s as simple as booking a court in the Sports Hall and our team will set up the court for you and have everything prepared meaning all you have to do is come along with a friend and have FUN! No matter if you’re a regular player or you have decided to give it a go for the first time, Pickleball is for everyone.
