Pickleball Clinics Information

Pickleball is a fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It is played both indoors or outdoors on a 44-foot by 20-foot court. Created for all ages and skill levels, pickleball's rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. The Sudbury Recreation Department offers clinics at the Fairbanks Community Center, 40 Fairbank Road, Sudbury. Occasional play will also be hosted at Featherland Park 491 Concord Rd, Sudbury, MA.
