This is your chance to learn the game of pickleball – the fastest growing sport in the USA. Bama Beach Pickleball Club is offering a beginners’ clinic on July 8 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at The Church of Christ in Gulf Shores, 2414 West 1st Street.

The clinic costs $10/person and will be indoors, rain or shine. At the clinic you’ll learn all of the fundamentals, watch a demonstration of shots and then you’ll get out and play. Paddles and balls will be supplied so all you need to bring is comfortable playing clothes and court/tennis shoes.

To help you learn the game and improve your skills, we will be holding a Beginners’ Only Play Day starting July 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Church and continuing on each Thursday through September. Once you feel comfortable with your skills, you can come to the Church any day (Monday – Saturday) from 9 a.m. to noon and play with those in your skill group (A, B, or C).

Bring a spouse, a friend, or a child (12 years or older). The best part of the clinic is that you will meet other beginners, like yourself, and you’ll be on your way to a great sport, great exercise (not too strenuous) and the most social sport you’ll ever participate in. You will love it!

If you would like to attend, all you have to do is email Sam Strite at samcstrite@gmail.com and you’ll be guaranteed a spot.
