If you thought the pandemic hobbies were over, think again. The paddle-sport phenomenon that's been sweeping the nation isn't slowing down any time soon. Pickleball enthusiasts and novices alike have something to look forward to in Riverwind Park— an introductory class designed to turn the pickleball-curious into capable players.
According to a recent announcement from the City of Coon Rapids, the class covers all the basics newcomers need, from scoring and rules to court positioning. All this will go down on Saturday, July 26, from 3-5 p.m. Forget about being a wallflower at the local courts; for just $30, you'll be in the mix, flaunting your newfound skills.
Organized sport activities are a staple for community interaction, and pickleball, with its inclusive and friendly vibe, is certainly no exception. This event emphasizes that paddles and balls are provided, but bringing your own is totally fine if you're already a step ahead in the pickleball gear game. It's not just a casual affair— by the end of the two-hour session, participants will be well-versed enough to join open plays in the area.
Though Riverwind Park will be providing the necessary equipment, the class takes a 'the more, the merrier' approach to personal gear. Sign up to reserve your spot and get more details about the class straight from the horse's mouth—they're not canning the fun when there's enough pickleball for everyone.
