Pickleball is an exciting racquet sport that’s popular in America, and is starting to gain traction here in the UK since clubs started to form here in 2011. The sport brings together some of the best elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, into a fun and exciting game for people of all ages and abilities.
The game is played on half of a tennis court and uses a shorter tennis-style net – players use paddles to hit a plastic ball between one another. You can play as both singles and doubles, and it’s a great way to exercise.
Come along to a Coach-Led session where you will get the opportunity to learn how to play Pickleball with a variety of people of all ages.
These sessions are open to players who are new to the sport or those who need a refresher on the basics, rules, and scoring. Within 2 hours, you’ll start to play doubles with your fellow participants.
You’ll receive coaching from a certified Pickleball England coach who will cover all the basics needed.
These sessions currently run on the last Saturday of the month at 2pm to 4pm. The cost is £10 and all equipment is included.
All sessions can be booked on our portal, or by clicking the button below!
We run structured coach-led sessions for those who have played Pickleball before. These currently run on:

All existing tennis club members will include the benefits of our Pickleball membership.
We are re-launching our Pickleball-Only membership with brand new benefits. The cost for a full-years membership is £85 and includes the following:
Pickleball paddles are available to hire in the bar for £3 and must be returned after play. Balls are also available to purchase at the bar.
As with tennis, guest fees will apply for non-members – £5 for adults and £2.50 for juniors. This will need to be paid in the bar or paid on the portal when the court is booked on the portal.
We launched Pickleball at the club in May 2024 and are one of the few members clubs with outdoor courts.
The new Pickleball court lines have been added to our hard courts in yellow, and we have all the equipment ready for you to give it a go!
The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) wrote a Pickleball Case Study on the club’s success. You can read this here.
