Drop-in pickleball begins Tuesday night at Admiral Coontz Recreation Center
HANNIBAL, Mo. — Hannibal Parks and Recreation will offer drop-in pickleball from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on some Tuesday evenings starting tonight at the Admiral Coontz Recreation Center. Other dates are Oct. 3, 10, 17; Nov. 14, 21 and 28; and Dec. 5. Cost is $5 per participant per night.
Drop-in pickleball allows players to “drop in” and play games. Courts will be designated for competitive, intermediate and leisure players. Four players start on a court; when a game is complete, the winners will remain on the court and separate. The losers will go to the bench. Two new players from the bench will join the new game. This system allows people to play with new partners.
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong using a paddle and plastic ball with holes. It is a game that is appropriate for players of all ages and skill levels. Rules for pickleball are simple, making it an ideal introductory sport.
A pickleball league will begin in January 2024.
