SPORTS COACHING
Pickleball
One of the fastest-growing sports in the country, pickleball has arrived at Cooper.
Pickleball is a fun and socially-friendly sport that’s easy to learn and less physically demanding than tennis. Whether you’ve already played or never picked up a paddle before, give pickleball a try!
Pickleball is played in singles or doubles, with doubles being the most common. Singles and doubles have the same playing area and rules.
