Join Us On Our Anthem Pickleball Courts
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America. It was created by combining features of ping pong and tennis and is played on a court one-fourth the size of a tennis court with a paddle and a plastic pickleball. This smaller court size has made the sport very attractive to all ages and all levels. Pickleball promotes camaraderie, physical fitness, and lifestyle.
