Family Pickle Ball

As a family enjoy the sport of pickle ball in the main gym. This racquet sport combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Players use solid paddles to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net.

Children who are not toilet trained must have a swim diaper on when in the pool.
