Pickleball at the J!
With three courts in our gymnasium for pickleball, we can accommodate many players of all skill levels. Pickleball is one of the fastest growing racquet sports across the United States. It’s a combination of tennis, badminton and ping-pong, and is played with a paddle and wiffleball. Members of the Springfield JCC get to play for FREE! If you’re not a member, consider joining for unlimited play. For the most up-to-date playing times, check out our gym schedule.
Wednesday, April 27, 9:30 – 10:30 AM and Wednesdays, May 4- 18, 10:00 – 11:00 AM
In-Person at the J | Instructor: Allen Nadler
Join us to learn how to play pickleball! The rules are simple, making it a great introductory sport. It can also be quite challenging, fast-paced, and competitive when you become more experienced. Once you’ve learned, you can join us at the J for open play!
Cost: $100 JCC members, $125 general public.
Pre-registration is required. To register, call the J at (413) 739-4715 or stop by our Business Office.
