Pickleball Has Landed

Pickleball is easy to learn, fast to fall in love with, and endlessly social. At the Hop Notch Fitness Center you'll find structured clinics for every level, competitive year-round leagues, Friday-night socials, and one-on-one coaching — all under one roof.

Brand-new to the game or dialing in your third-shot drop, there's a spot on the court for you. Adults and juniors ages 7–13 both have their own programming.
