The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. Pickleball combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It can be played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. All you need is a paddle and a plastic ball. Pickleball is available at YMCA Bethesda-Chevy Chase, YMCA Fairfax County Reston, YMCA Silver Spring and YMCA Arlington Tennis & Pickleball Center.
Squash is an indoor racquet sport played by two in a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball. It is a fast-moving, high-impact sport that provides an excellent cardiovascular workout. Both men and women of any age can play it!
You can play this easy-to-learn game for leisure or as a competitive sport. If you are looking to pick up the game for the first time, trying a winter alternative to other sports, or looking for some new partners, please join us at the YMCA Arlington Tennis & Pickleball Center.
