Pickleball at HSCA: Beginner Friendly and Growing Fast

Quick note: Pickleball will be paused for the month of April during our busy market and event season. We’ll be back on Saturday, May 2 and look forward to welcoming everyone back on the court.

If you’ve been hearing more about pickleball lately, you are not alone. According to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), pickleball has been one of the fastest growing sports in recent years.

The game blends elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, and part of what makes it so popular is how easy it is to get started. It is social, low pressure, and most people start to get the hang of it after just a few rallies.

And now you can give it a try right here at HSCA!

Our Saturday pickleball sessions are open to ages 16+ and welcome all skill levels, whether you have played before or are picking up a paddle for the first time. There is no partner needed. Just come as you are and we will help get you into a game.

Sessions are facilitated by HSCA staff member Imran, who brings a real passion for racquet sports and genuinely enjoys helping new players feel comfortable on the court. It is a relaxed, welcoming environment where people can try something new, get moving, and connect with others.

Sessions take place in the HSCA gym, and we are now offering one combined session each Saturday from 10:30am to 12pm (resuming again on May 2). Bringing everyone together into one time slot helps create a more social and connected experience on the court.

Cost: $12 per session
What to bring: Your own pickleball paddle

Space is limited and advance registration is encouraged.
