”Pickleball is moving indoors for the winter starting Monday, Nov. 8, and new players are welcome,” said MacLennan, “Pickleball is an very easy to learn racquet sport. It is a fun, social game that most ages can play.”

She notes that the Barriere Outdoor Club (BOC) provides the basic equipment (nets and balls), and they also have a few extra pickleball paddles for those just starting out.

“Your first time is free of charge and comes with a lesson by one of our Barriere Outdoor Club members,” added MacLennan, “All you need is your indoor sneakers and water.”

Pickleball will be played Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning’s from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. in the Barriere Ridge at 4936 Barriere Town Road.

Cost per session to cover the cost of the gymnasium rental is $5 per session for BOC members, and $7 per session for non-members.

Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required.
