The Pickleball Club conducts FREE monthly Beginner’s pickleball classes for residents of Stone Creek. Paddles can be checked out at the Spa.
 
The class will be about 1 to 1 1/2 hours long. Each class consists of 2 sessions and you are registering for both days. The purpose is to introduce our residents to the fun and physical benefits of this engaging game. All you bring to the class is your enthusiasm, sneakers (preferably court shoes) shoes, eye protection, water, and a paddle the paddle. If you don’t have a paddle, you can check a paddle out at the Spa  You can view the class schedule at
 
You will get lots of opportunity to “whack the ball” while learning some basic rules and fundamentals of the game. When finished with both sessions you should know enough about the game to organize an event of your own.
 
Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have been notified of being pre-registered because you were on the waiting list, there is no need to respond.
