Pickleball

Use of The J’s indoor and outdoor pickleball courts is open only to LJCC members.

Eight pickleball players pose in a line on an outdoor court after winning various elements in a pickleball tournament

The fastest growing sport in America, pickleball combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis for two or four players using paddles to hit a perforated polymer ball (similar to a Wiffle ball) over a net.
