If you've never heard of pickleball or have seen it being played but want to learn more, this session is the ideal opportunity. What's more, we have teamed up with Giovanni's Restaurant in Crewe to offer fantastic prizes, such as food vouchers and complimentary pickleball equipment!
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball's popularity is rapidly increasing nationwide and gaining global attention, which is further explained in our blog post: "The Rise of Pickleball". It is often depicted as a combination of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, using a paddle and a plastic ball with holes on a smaller court. The game's rules are straightforward, making it suitable for people of all ages and skill levels, from children to the elderly.
Typically, pickleball is played in doubles, but singles is also an option. One of the most appealing aspects of pickleball is how simple it is to learn and play. In a short amount of time, you will be able to serve, volley, and enjoy the game with other participants.
Why Attend Our Taster Session?
Our Pickleball Taster Session is not just a chance to learn the game, but also to experience an active and engaging way to stay fit. Here are some reasons why you don’t want to miss it:
1. Learn a Fun, Easy Sport
Pickleball is an excellent choice for those who might find more traditional sports like tennis or squash a bit daunting. With its compact court, lightweight paddle, and leisurely-paced ball, it's much less physically challenging, making it more accessible while still offering a great workout. Our experienced coaches will be available to lead you through the fundamentals, from gripping the paddle to perfecting your serving technique. No prior experience required!
2. Socialise and Make New Friends
One of the best parts of pickleball is its social nature. Games are typically shorter than other racket sports, meaning there’s plenty of time for laughs and chats in between matches. You’ll be grouped with others at your skill level, so everyone is learning and growing together. Our taster session is a fantastic opportunity to make new friends who share an interest in fitness and fun
3. Prizes up for Grabs!
To add to the excitement, we have some amazing prizes for participants! Upon finishing the session, you will be eligible to participate in a draw with the chance to win:
Vouchers for dining at Giovanni's Italian Restaurant, perfect for replenishing energy after a game or treating the family.
Complimentary Luxbren Pickleball Equipment, such as paddles and balls, so you can keep playing after the session.
Regardless of winning a prize, all attendees will receive a discount code for any Luxbren product they desire. There will also be opportunity to register your interest in joining the Pickleball Club at Wistaston Jubilee Tennis Club, which we are hoping to launch after the session.
4. Family-Friendly and Inclusive
Pickleball is a sport suitable for the whole family to participate in. You can bring your kids, grandparents, or friends and engage in physical activity together. The game rules can be easily adjusted to accommodate any age or skill level, ensuring that everyone can join in and feel involved. We will provide equipment suitable for all players and have coaches who are experienced in working with individuals of varying ages and abilities.
