Pickleball in Temple Terrace, FL

Pickleball is coming to Temple Terrace starting January 14, 2013!
Posted on December 8, 2012, templeterrace.patch.com


The Temple Terrace Parks and Recreation Department is proud to roll out Pickleball starting January 14. What is Pickleball you ask? Pickleball is a cross between ping pong, tennis and badminton. Players use oversized ping pong paddles and a whiffle ball.

 Pickleball is exciting and one of the fastest growing recreational sports in Florida. The games will be played indoors in the gymnasium on a badminton-size court. The games will take place between 9am and 12pm on Monday and Wednesday in an open play fashion. We will have a group on hand to lead an orientation in the art of Pickleball play for all newcomers on January 14.

The games will take place at our Family Recreation Complex at 6610 Whiteway Dr. Temple Terrace, FL 33617. The fee is free to all members. Non-members can pay a $10 guest pass, or pay $25 for the month. Come see why Pickleball is becoming so popular.

 For more information, contact Scott Andrews at 813-506-6600, or sandrews@templeterrace.com.
