How To Coordinate Games:
Of course you can just show up and see who else shows up to play, but in an effort to help coordinate enough people to play a game (minimum 2 people for half court play, and minimum 4 people for a full court game) you can use playtimescheduler.com and you can search for other games in surrounding areas as well! It's not required, it's just an option. And it's free to create an account using your email address. Our "regoin" is "Northern Worcester County".
If no games are scheduled yet you can add one for other people to join (within the times available at the facility).
Playtime Scheduler is not a court reservation system. It's a way to invite others to play with you.

Have Fun and Burn Calories!
The sport of Pickleball is quickly growing across the United States. We are so fortunate to have it here in Winchendon.
The game is easy to learn and fun to play. The best way to learn is to join us on the court. We offer a free introduction to pickleball every Monday & Friday at 9 am before the "games" start at 9:30. Everyone is friendly and willing to teach new players the game. We have demo paddles available for use.
Pickleball is a great way to get out of the house, meet new people (who will soon be your friends!), have fun and get exercise too! It is for people of all ages and abilities.
If you would like more information about the rules of the game you can read them here, but don't let anything overwhelm you, it's as simple as hitting the ball over the net. You can learn the rules as you play.
Below is a link to another website that explains the sport. There is a lot of information on the internet, this is just one place to start.
Pickleball Workshops!
Checkout our popular workshops. There are held monthly at the Winchendon Senior Center and they are continually updated with new content led by our official PPR Certified Instructors.
Pickleball Workshop 1
If you are ready to learn more about pickleball, then you need to attend our workshops! Everyone starts with Workshop 1. It doesn't matter if you have pickleball experience or not because our workshops build upon themselves. We take you from where you are to the next level of play. You will be paired with players of similar experience. Workshops are held one day per week for 4 weeks and are 90 minutes long. Space is limited to ensure individual attention.
Pickleball Workshop 2
Once you've completed Workshop 1 and you are ready for more we have an advanced workshop for you! Here we will dive deeper into shot selection and strategy of the game. This will take your pickleball game to the next level again.
Workshops are held one day per week for 4 weeks and are 90 minutes long. Space is limited to ensure individual attention.
Private/Semi-Private Lessons
Maybe you are not ready for a 4 week workshop and you just want to work on one thing. Whatever that is we can help you. Our PPR Certified Instructors are available for hourly Private and Semi-Private lessons. What does semi-private mean"? Its when you and up to 3 other people (4 max) share a 1 hour private lesson together. This brings down the cost per student.
