Pickleball
Unleash your pickleball potential with JCC Greater Boston’s collection of private/partner lessons and open play hours.
Ready To Have a Ball With the Fastest Growing Sport in the US?
Pickleball is the perfect blend of badminton, tennis, and table tennis, making it an exciting and accessible activity for players of all ages and skill levels.
Whether you’re a seasoned racquet pro or trying pickleball for the first time, you’re sure to have a blast on the court. Not only do we offer open play times for anyone to jump into a game and play together; we’ve got intro clinics designed for beginners to learn the basic rules and strategies of the game, as well as lessons with our pickleball pro.
Don’t just take our word for it — see for yourself why pickleball is taking the nation by storm! Grab your paddle, gather some friends, and let’s hit the pickleball courts!

Classes
Open to the Community
Whether you are new to pickleball or know what you’re doing but would like some more coaching, we have a class for you! We offer:
- Intro classes for players with minimal to no knowledge of the game and are looking to learn how to play.
- Intermediate classes designed to help players build their confidence and technique.
- Skills sessions for advanced beginner/intermediate players who already know how to play and score, but may not yet feel comfortable joining an open-play group on the courts.
Classes for this season are full! To be the first to hear about new offerings, make sure to get on our email list. Contact us at pickleball@jccgb.org.
