PLAY PICKLEBALL AT ST. DAVID'S
Next game: Jan. 11
Wednesdays, 6:30-8 p.m.
Come and play the fastest-growing sport in the United States! We have two courts in the gym. Pickleball is a racket/paddle sport where two players (singles), or four players (doubles), hit a perforated hollow polymer ball over a 36-inch-high (0.91 m) net using solid-faced paddles. This is a great low-impact sport. New friends will teach you how to play and provide the equipment once we get a headcount.
We gather for dinner in Sumners Hall at 5:30 p.m. and you are welcome to join us. Please wear comfy clothes and sports shoes.
