What is Pickle Ball?

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the country.  It’s a cross between tennis, table tennis, racquetball and badminton, and it can be enjoyed by all age groups, and played at many different levels.   It’s played on a court the size of a badminton court with a small paddle and a whiffle ball.

Thank you to our sponsors

What is Pickle Ball?

The health benefits of pickleball include weight loss, lower blood pressure, and increased stamina. It is a natural progression for tennis and racquetball players who want to continue playing a net sport without the physical stress of those two activities on the knees and other joints.

The Club has  seventeen Pickleball courts and organizes play during the week in a round robin format, with pick-up games in the afternoons and on weekends. 

Pickleball is addictive!  Please come, join the group, make new friends, and have some fun!

New to Pickle Ball but want to brush up on your skills? JW Marriott Desert Ridge offers private clinics, individual lessons and more. To inquire, please reach out to Paul Fragoso, Paddle & Racquetball Manager at JW Marriott Desert Ridge.
