Introduction to Pickleball


Community Bridge / Recreation -
Winter/Spring 25

Have you noticed the obsession with pickleball??? People LOVE this game! Played with a wiffle-like ball and a small paddle, this game is a mix of ping pong, badminton, and tennis. Join your Community Bridge friends for an hour of pickleball fun, including instruction from a pickleball “pro.”Bring your own paddle if possible or borrow one at Gladstone. Caregivers, please provide support as needed.

I absolutely love Pickleball—for the fun, the camaraderie, the active lifestyle, and the thrill of competition. Growing up on the tennis courts in Stillwater, I played competitive tennis from the age of 10 through college. Pickleball has reignited my competitive spirit, and as a bonus, I get to team up with my sister as my doubles partner.

I discovered Pickleball seven years ago and have been hooked ever since, spending as much time as I can on the court. There’s nothing quite like seeing the joy on a new player’s face when they connect with the ball for the first time. My teaching approach is student-centered, recognizing that everyone comes to the sport with their own goals. Whether you’re a beginner exploring Pickleball for the first time, someone newly retired looking for a fresh hobby, or an experienced player eager to elevate your game, there’s something in this sport for everyone.

Pickleball is approachable, inclusive, and endlessly rewarding. Let’s hit the court and discover what it can bring to your life!
