Pickleball clinic coming to the Battlefords
The Battlefords Pickleball Club (BPC) is hosting a Pickleball Clinic at the Nationswest Field House Sept. 16 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Sept. 18 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
A bit of a unique sport as its name may suggest, pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. Players use their paddles to hit a perforated ball over a low net on a badminton-sized court.
Open to all ages, pickleball is one of the fastest growing recreational sports in North America. The sport’s growing popularity has been on full display in the Battlefords specifically, as the local pickleball club features over 70 registered members since forming just last year.
