With music pumping and drinks flowing, Tennis World Albert Reserve welcomed players of every age and ability to come and try the sport that’s taking the world by storm.

Pickleball has swept across the United States and Europe to become one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Played on a smaller court with paddles and a perforated plastic ball, the sport offers an easy-to-learn and accessible on-court experience making it perfect of tennis players who are nursing an injury or looking to get a lower-impact workout in.

Thanks to Head, we were able to bring the fast-growing sport to over 100 keen players at Albert Reserve last Friday.

The event kicked off at 5:30PM with Tennis World facilitating drop-in pickleball, Cardio Tennis and demo sessions, running on 30 minute rotations until 8:30PM.

After hitting some balls and trying out the latest Head equipment, attendees stuck around for a free sausage sizzle and happy hour drinks.
