Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. It is estimated that two million Americans play the game, and its popularity is growing, especially among seniors. Two-thirds of all pickleball players are over the age of 60, and it is a popular event with local seniors as well as with participants in the Tennessee Senior Olympics.
Space is limited for each clinic. For more information, contact Kylie Preston at Kylie.Preston@williamsoncounty-tn.gov or (615) 370-3471, ext. 2116.
