“Sport for everyone”: Soo Pickleball offers lessons for beginners

If you value the opportunity to try out the increasingly popular sport of pickleball, now is your chance!

Soo Pickleball offers beginner lessons for what its website describes as the “paddle sport for all ages and levels.”

“Our volunteer instructors will guide you through the basics during a two-hour session,” the organization said in a statement. “You will learn grip, shots, play, positioning, scoring, rules and everything you need to know to get started.”

The club says it will provide balls and rackets for the session.

Classes for beginners (you just need to register for a 2-hour course, specifies the club) will take place:

• Thursday May 16 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
• Thursday May 16 from 7:45 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.
• Thursday May 23 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
• Thursday May 23 from 7:45 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.

The price of the lesson is $30 plus a Pickleball Canada/Soo Pickleball membership ($25).

Classes take place at Tech Gym, 130 Wellington Street E.
