What we’re about
The novices club is a club for people with little or no experience in Pickleball. We are currently seeing a high level of interest and are operating a waitlist to join. All prospective members who are new or newish to the game must complete an introduction session whereby we go through the basic rules, strokes and positioning for an hour and then play for an hour. This session costs £9 to include paddle hire. These are usually at the weekend and subject to our and court availability.
If you are an experienced player i.e. been playing regularly at another club for at least 6 months you may not need to attend the introduction session. Once this is complete you would be added to the waitlist.
All events will take place in Thornbury so people from this locality or its surroundings will be given preference.
All ages welcome (over 18's). No experience necessary as we offer tuition re the rules and how to play. It is easy to pick up the basics. We welcome players of all abilities.
Sessions are £5.50 per two hour session for members and £7.50 for non-members for evening and weekend sessions. £4.50 per two hour session for members and £5.50 per two hour session to non members for off peak sessions (daytime).
Paddles are available for hire at £1 per session from the club. Balls are provided.
By joining this Meetup group you are not actually joining the Thornbury Pickleball Club to do that you need to attend a number of sessions, complete a membership form and pay a fee - this is subject to availability of spaces at the club
Please ensure you wear sports kit with non marking shoes. If you cant come after booking please send us a private message to advise us and remove yourself from the event. If you cancel within 48 hours of the event you will be expected to still pay as we have comitted to the courts by then and uneven numbers reduces the value of the event for others.
We are a friendly bunch and we hope you will try out this new sport which is a lot of fun.
