Learn the game. Laugh a lot. Play forever. New to pickleball? You’ve come to the right place. Pickleball 101: Dinks & Giggles is a light-hearted, four-week intro series that gets you from “never held a paddle” to “ready for organized play” in no time! Each week, you’ll join us for a one-hour clinic covering the basics—rules, scoring, court positioning, and essential skills like serving, dinking, and smashing (nicely, of course). After the four clinics, you’ll jump into a complimentary Beginner Organized Play session where you’ll put your new skills into action with other fresh-faced picklers. By the end, you’ll be laughing, sweating, and totally ready to dive into MPC’s regular play schedule. Pickleball is one of the easiest sports to pick up—just a few fun lessons and you're in the game! In collaboration with Missouri Pickleball Club.
