Pickleball is suitable for people of all ages and skill levels, and because the rules are simple, it makes it easy for beginners to join in. 

You can add a 30-60 minute lesson taught by one of our pickleball instructors. This option is great for those who want to practice skills and learn the rules of the game before hitting the courts.

The Paseo Club has seen an increase in adding pickleball to birthday parties, team-building events, and nonprofit fundraisers. However, given the fun nature of the sport, you could add it to just about any event.
