WHERE .....................Queensbury Activity Center, 742 Bay Road TIME ..................................................8:30-9:30 am Pickleball is a paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. It is a great sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. We will play outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. Players also enjoy the social aspect of the game and being active as part of a healthy lifestyle. The equipment is provided for use, so you have nothing to lose! The 4-week format will consist of a classroom session (required) for the first day and the remainder of the session will be instructional play on the courts. Instruction provided by ADK Pickleball Club. For questions, please email: adkpickleballclub@gmail.com. FOR .......................................................................................
