... Read moreIf you're new to pickleball like I was, finding the right place to start can be a bit daunting. The Straits Pickle Club really got it right with their beginner-friendly approach. Their sessions break down everything from basic rules to scoring, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. I appreciated that the class size was capped at 18, which meant plenty of hands-on guidance from the coach.
One important tip: bring your own sports attire and a water bottle, as you will definitely be moving around a lot! Though they provide paddles, if you plan to play regularly, it might be worth investing in your own paddle eventually. The club has three courts, which means there’s space to practice and play.
After my first session, I felt comfortable enough to join in casual games, and it really made learning the sport enjoyable. The club’s location at Jurong Gateway is convenient, and sessions are scheduled frequently, which makes fitting it into your week easy. Plus, the cost of $39 for a 2-hour session is quite reasonable compared to other sports classes around.
If you’re looking for more community fun, keep an eye out for pickleball parties and additional beginner classes they may offer. Having a supportive community like this is what makes the sport addictive! Whether you want to get active, meet new people, or simply try something new, Straits Pickle Club is a great spot to consider for your pickleball journey.
