Pickleball
Pickleball is a sport that combines elements
from tennis, badminton and table tennis. It
is played with a paddle and light ball in a
badminton-sized court. It is a friendly sport
for all age groups and levels! Pickleball is
the fastest growing sport in the US and is
exploding in popularity internationally.
The AWC is now trying to form its own
Pickleball League with AWC Member,
Krishna Thakrar, teaching us how to play.
