Pickleball is played with a whiffle ball and a paddle in about one-third of a tennis court. It's a combination of badminton, tennis and ping pong.

The United States Pickleball Associations local ambassador Bob Eirons will be offering instructional clinics. Clinics are running from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Mondays and Wednesdays through March 15. No pre-registration is required and the program is free.
