Welcome to Pickleball at the OFJCC!
Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong. It's a great mix of exercise, socializing and friendly competition.
The OFJCC offers a wide variety of pickleball programs for all skill levels. Our programs include coached clinics to improve your skills even if you've never played before, or if you're an experienced player looking to improve your game. We also offer open play times where you can test out your skills and make new friends.
We look forward to seeing you on the courts!
Pickleball Programs
We offer clinics at three levels of play:
Level 1
Beginners who are new to pickleball. Players will learn basic shots and scoring.
Level 2
Advanced beginners who have some pickleball experience and know the basic shots. Players will refine their fundamentals and practice in game situations.
Level 3
Intermediates who can reasonably execute pickleball fundamentals with consistency and want to take their game to the next level. Players learn more advanced shots and game strategies.
