Weekly pickleball Club sessions started at Wargrave on Monday 30th September following two trial competitions that were run earlier in the summer. For our first weekly session, 10 players (including 5 non-members) braved the windy conditions for a really fun evening, with players split into a beginners group and a more advanced group.
Weather permitting, we will now run pickleball Club sessions every Monday evening from 7pm to 9pm, and every Thursday from 10.30am to 12.30pm. The sessions are organised by Roger Whiteside (our new Pickleball Tennis coordinator) and are open to existing tennis members at Wargrave, or people with our new Pickleball Only (PBO) membership package. Non-members can also try the weekly sessions for two free trials, to help them decide whether they want to join or not.
Pickleball tennis is one of the fastest growing sports in America. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners, but it can develop into a fast-paced, competitive game for more advanced players as shown in this amazing pickleball video from the USA.
The Pickleball Only membership at Wargrave is priced at £128 for a full year, and £64 for the remainder of our current season (that runs until 31st March 2025). The package includes free entry to weekly pickleball Club sessions and any other arranged pickleball tournaments or sessions that are run at the Club during the year. Pickleball players can also book courts at other times using our 14 day advanced booking system.
We currently have two pickleball courts, and a further two pop-up courts. All four courts come with free LED floodlighting, with bats and balls provided by the Club. PBO members can upgrade to a full tennis membership at any time for the difference in the cost between a PBO and a full tennis membership.
