Pickleball at Sugden Sports Centre

Pickleball Courts

Pickleball sessions take place in the sports hall on the existing badminton courts but with a net, similar in size to a tennis net. 

Courts are available to book in the usual way; online or via the Better UK app, for 40 or 60 minute sessions.  Members and non-members alike are welcome to get involved, so why not give it a try and book a court today?

Rackets available to hire from reception starting from £2.

Pickleball Rules

  • The first player or pair to 11 points with 2 in hand is the winner.
  • Service begins from the right-hand court, and serves must be underarm. There are no second serves.
  • Players can only score points on their own service.
  • Service must be made diagonally (as in tennis) and must bounce. The return of service must also bounce.
  • There’s a non-volley zone seven feet either side of the net (sometimes referred to as “the kitchen”).
  • Teams must win by 2 clear points or the game continues until one team has the winning margin
