Adult Pickle-ball 

Pickle-ball - is a paddle ball sport (similar to a racket sport) that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a Wiffle Ball, over a net. For the most part 4 players play at a time at the Newton YMCA (Doubles). Pickle-ball is a sport that is fun and very easy to learn. We have players as young as in their 20’s to as old as in their 70’s. The YMCA provides paddles and balls. Most of the consistent players bring their own paddle. A pickle-ball match is played by ones to 11.
 
Formed  Pickle-ball Groups:
 
Tuesday morning from 8 a.m. – 10 a.m.
All skill levels are welcome in this group.  Most of the players in this group learned how to play pickle-ball by coming on Tuesday morning. Members of this group will teach you how to play if you are a beginner with no  pickle-ball experience.
 
Thursday morning from 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. For the most part it is the same group as Tuesday morning.
 
New Group Forming:
 
We have a new group of pickle-ball players trying to form a group on Sundays from 1 p.m. -3 p.m. This group will start on January 5. All skill levels are welcome to play in this group. There will be a few more advanced players participating on Sundays.

A pickle social will be held on Sunday, February 9 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. A social is a non-competitive type fun tournament where we have food and drinks. You sign up as an individual and play with a different partner each match. You  play about 5 or 6 matches in a social depending on how many enroll. We award prizes to top finishers in each division.
