Don’t get yourself in a pickle: Edinburgh Leisure is offering Pickleball Taster Sessions

Edinburgh Leisure is offering Pickleball Taster sessions at four of its venues next week.

Invented in the USA over 50 years ago by a family who named it after their dog Pickles, Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the world. 

Played on a court very similar to badminton but with a lower net, it is played with a ball and a paddle, and uses racket skills from tennis, squash, badminton and table tennis. The rules and scoring system mean that pickleball is very accessible for the young and not so young, making it a family activity for everyone to enjoy. 

Led by Pickleball Scotland ambassadors, the free adult taster sessions will be offered at the following venues. No need to invest in a paddle or balls as the kit will be supplied on the day.

Monday, 30^th January – 1pm – 3pm
