Community Pickleball

Come and play the fastest-growing sport in North America; a hybrid of tennis, badminton and Ping-Pong, it's social, it's great exercise and it's easy to learn. This sport is for all ages but the active aging community is taking it by storm! Now featuring 10 courts total over both HLC gyms, we strive to offer as much opportunity to play this exciting game as possible.
