WELCOME! |
The Springfield Pickleball Club provides members the opportunity to play pickleball with one another, and promotes the sport within our community. We welcome you to join us during one of the weekly open play events to meet and play with other pickleball enthusiasts!
New to pickleball? SPC hosts "beginner play" every Wednesday from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. from May through August at Iles Park. No equipment or knowledge of pickleball is needed... just come ready to have fun! SPC members are on hand to provide instruction, and pair you with an experienced player to help you learn the basics.

May is here and with that Iles park will be open for Beginners class every Wednesday evening from 5-7 PM.
This is a great environment for friends and family members that have wanted to learn how to play pickleball and to do so in a relaxed and informative setting. We encourage anyone wanting to help with instructions to come out & help.
We could also use some additional paddles so if you have any old ones laying around and would be willing to donate them to the club, they would be greatly appreciated. ** OUR SPONSORS ** Click on the sponsor of your choice to jump to their website!! |
