Jackie and Jim Ranahan have opened their facilities at Guelph Golf Club currently being used by RoyalCity Ball Hockey to a sport played on a badminton court called Pickleball.
Pickleball Association of Ontario (PAO) accepted an invitation for a Learn to Play workshop on Nov 18, 2015.
We were enthusiastically received by close to 20 participants over the time slot.
For many this was a beginning to a new, yet surprisingly enjoyable experience.
Comments such as “I never thought I would be doing something like this at my age” were heard numerous times. With encouragement, basics instructions such as “eyes on the ball, shuffling on the court, to using the elephant trunk arm motion to push the ball over the net”, beginners frowns soon turned to a smile.
“This is fun” was now heard more often.
Bring your court shoes, come out, check it out.
Playing times are Monday to Friday 1pm to 3 pm at
133 Woodlawn Rd East
