Pickleball at the Y

Visit us to play the fastest-growing sport in the U.S.! It's easier on the body and has a simpler learning curve than other racket sports. Click Learn More to read our blog for rules to the game and to find our schedule! You can always see us at the Welcome Center and we'll help you get started, as well!
