Learn To Play Pickleball
w/ Coaching by Members of the Milton Pickleball Association

Players new to the game can attend Learn To Play sessions offered by the Town of Milton. Pickleball can be played by most any person. Play within your comfort zone and physical condition. Want to learn the basics of play, player etiquette and the rules of the game? Consider joining a session or two.

During the winter months, the Town has scheduled L2P sessions at the Milton Leisure Centre. Every Wednesday from 12:30 to 2:30 the L2P sessions, facilitated by Association volunteers, welcomes you to participate.  The Town provides all the equipment you'll need, but by all means, if you own your own equipment, bring it along.  We recommend you wear sport related clothing - you'll probably sweat a bit.

The number of players is limited (16 per session), and spots fill quickly, so be sure to register 72 hours before the session (48 hours prior if you are from out of town) to guarantee your place.
