Oakleaf Sports Complex Welcomes Pickleball: Pickleball, one of the world’s fastest-growing sports, is now available at the Oakleaf Sports Complex. Open seven days a week, the new addition offers opportunities for adults and juniors to enjoy this exciting game at affordable prices.
What Is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a unique mix of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. Played on a court about a quarter the size of a tennis court, it features a slightly lower net. This combination makes the game accessible and enjoyable for players of all ages and skill levels. Oakleaf Sports Complex’s decision to add pickleball reflects the sport’s growing popularity worldwide.
Affordable Options for All Players
The facility offers competitive pricing, with adult members paying £6.50 and non-members £8.20 per session. Junior members can play for £3.60, while non-members pay £5.20. Equipment hire is also available, ensuring that new players can easily access everything they need to get started.
