                                                                                                                                                                              Pickle Ball Schedule
PICKLE BALL is a sport that evolved in the 80's for all ages.  It's a cross between tennis, badminton, and ping pong.  Because it doesn't involve much legwork, it's ideal for those over 60, but is fun for any age that can hit the ball and learn the rules. 

 Pickle Ball at Faith is a Social Ministry of Christian fellowship, encouragement, grace, great laughter, humor, forgiveness, and health.
 
Who can play?
Any adult from Faith may reserve a time slot on the Fellowship Hall Schedule online to play.
Non-member friends may be invited to share in the fun.

Faith Families and youth are welcome.  We ask that there is always a responsible adult present to ensure good sportsmanship, proper care of equipment, and respectful use of the Hall.

 
Number of players:
Minimum of 4 players. When 5-8 are signed up, games are played to six points rather than 11 and players rotate in. (Players can also play with 3 players on a side with minor adjustments.)

Cost: $10 per adult  **generally a one-time fee until we run out of     
                                    funds to replace balls or equipment.
   
Don’t know how to play?

Check the schedule on the website and come watch it be played. The players will be glad to teach you.  Balls and rackets are available.
 
There are 2 thoughts concerning playing this sport at Faith.  One is to set up levels according to your skill to play each other.  The other is for all skill levels to play each other and enjoy the camaraderie of the church.  Neither way is "right"...so play as you would like to.
 
                                                  This sport can be played year round...ENJOY!
                                                      ** Church events on the Fellowship Hall calendar get priority over Pickle Ball.
