Pickleball in Mississauga
Pickleball is a combination of table tennis, badminton and tennis. The game is played on a badminton size court with a whiffle ball (a hollow perforated, plastic ball), slightly larger than a tennis ball.  To play, players use a short handled paddle somewhat larger than a ping-pong paddle. The rules are simple and the game is easy to learn. Pickleball is more challenging than it appears; it requires quick reflexes, skilful precision, and insightful strategic play. One only needs to go on YouTube or the Pickleball Channel to enjoy some fast-paced, competitive, world-class matches.
This year, pickleball was successfully introduced at Sheridan Tennis Club with over twenty active members meeting 3 to 4 times a week to play at designated times for three hour sessions during the day and in the evenings. Ample time was available for drop-in play as well.  Due to the popularity of the sport, Sheridan Tennis Club is planning to resurface the existing tennis/pickleball courts and adding pickleball lines on the other two courts in the spring of 2017. Members will have 4 courts to play either pickleball or tennis between April and October from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm every day.

Several Community Centres in Mississauga offer indoor pickleball during the winter.

Please feel free to contact Pickleball Mississauga Association for more information: www.pickleballmississauga.ca
