Attention, pickleball enthusiasts! If you're a resident of Raleigh looking to ramp up your game or a beginner hoping to learn the ropes of one of the fastest-growing sports in America, the Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department has just the thing for you. Starting this Wednesday, they are rolling out pickleball clinics designed for both beginner and intermediate players. According to the City of Raleigh's official announcement, beginner lessons will cover the basics of the game, introduce the rules, and help players develop their skills through warmups, discussions, and practice games.

Those with some experience under their belt can join the intermediate sessions, which aim to refine players' strategies and enhance on-court performance. Each skill level is afforded a dedicated time slot, with novice players taking the court from 9 to 10:45 a.m. and intermediate devotees following from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Both newbie and seasoned players will find the planned itinerary comprising warmups, demonstrations, and plenty of game time conducive to improving their game.

As for the cost, clinics are relatively accessible at $25 for Raleigh residents and $40 for non-residents. The sessions are open to adults aged 18 and over. Given the sport's growing popularity, those interested in attending these clinics might want to register sooner rather than later to secure their spot.
