Develop a lifestyle playing the lifetime sports of Tennis and Pickleball!
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong using a paddle and plastic ball with holes. It is a game that is appropriate for players of all ages and skill levels. Rules for pickleball are simple, making it a great introductory sport.
Playing pickleball allows you to work on your balance, agility, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination without putting excessive strains on your body. Pickleball is also a wonderful alternative for older players who used to play tennis, but have physical limitations such as hip, shoulder, knee, or other joint problems.
Pickleball classes for Adult Beginners and Advanced beginners are available thru the Town Of Islip and Town of Smithtown Department of Recreation. Coming soon: Pickleball private lessons. Pickleball Open Play Programs.
The Suffolk County Tennis and Education Foundation is the contracted sponsor
for Pickleball instruction and play in the Town of Islip and Town of Smithtown.
