At A Glance

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country—and for good reason! With simple rules, quick learning, and plenty of fun, it’s perfect for all ages and abilities. Combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, pickleball is easy to pick up, social, and highly addictive.

At the YMCA, you’ll find a welcoming community whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned player. Paddles and balls are provided at every location—just be ready to get hooked and want your own!

Reserve a court for singles or doubles through “Schedule a Visit”, or book three or more courts through Private Court Rentals for group play or tournaments.

Pickleball is offered at our Rollingwood, Sacramento Central, and Yolo County YMCA branches. Scroll down for details and come join the fun—we’ll see you on the court!
