Pickleball reopens for the 2025-2025 school year, here are some things you need to know about the club  if you want to join or are considering joining, they meet up almost immediately after school every Thursday, and end at 1:40. Pickleball is a very fun sport and one of the members of the club Jonah Maryott has described the club as “an amazing club if you just wanna go and have a laugh after school.”He also said “I would recommend this club to others because it is such a fun outlet if you have nothing to do at home, then you can just go play pickleball. It’s also very stress free, there’s no stress in it, you just come and have fun.”

Everyone that we interviewed about this club all said that they enjoy this club, and it is a good way to have fun after school. Ashton Domingo, one of the clubs leaders, has described their experience as one of the leaders of this club as “ diverse, and new just because it’s an uprising sport at the moment. It’s very, you know, impactful because it’s a very easy sport I’d have to say like people can pick it up in a day. It’s nothing too advanced, and it’s something everyone can just connect more with each other.” Most of the people we interviewed like Ashton Domingo said that they thought that pickleball was a boring sport, and said that it was lame, but they also said that once they actually tried it for themselves, they described it as a really fun sport, and a fun way to spend time with friends after school, and also a way to meet new people. Ashton Domingo said “ Me, personally, I got into it myself because I thought it was lame. And I actually joined with my friends when it started last year and I was like yeah I’ll try it out, and yeah they destroyed me badly, so I was like let me get back at them. Then, I got better and I was like okay let’s keep playing.” And that’s how they got into the club. This shows that you can get into new things no matter what, even if your motive is to just beat your friends, or maybe just some competition.

This club is ran by Ms.Sweeney, and her tips for beginners was “So, I think that with pickle ball you just have to get out there on the court and i also think that one of the things I’d probably say is a tip would be to you know make sure that you’re leaving your wrist secure and not flicking your wrist, that’s the really main thing when you’re hitting with the paddle.” She also said to the people unsure about joining that “you should try it because it is a very fast learning curve so it’s different from a lot of other sports that take you months and months to learn the sport, this is one where you’ll pick it up very quickly. So, if you’ve never played it’s worth giving it a shot because it’s quick learning.” Everyone that we have interviewed said that this sport is easy to learn, and they have a very helpful community that can help you learn, and teach you how to play. They don’t compete in any competitions, they don’t go to work  towards anything or win any games against other teams, they actually just go to have fun and spend time with others, and meet new people while playing the sport they love.
