The Drumheller Pickleball Club is fulfilling its mandate to grow the sport.
On Saturday, January 25, the Club held an introductory session at the Badlands Community Facility. This was for new players as well as some who have tried out the sport and want to learn more.
About a dozen new players came out to try the game. The Instruction was led by Tom Zariski, as well as Dan Hird, Bob Friesen, Teena Schrock and Aaron Zinger.
The seasoned vets took the newbies through some of the basic skills of the game as well as scoring before, turning them loose to play some double matches.
The Club meets at the Badlands Community Facility to play. In the summer they also take to the outdoor courts in the valley.
Currently, there are courts at DVSS, but more are in development at the new accessible rink in Midland and at Newcastle Beach.
