Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It's played on a court similar to a badminton court, but with a lower net. Players use solid paddles to hit a perforated plastic ball (similar to a wiffle ball) over the net.
The game can be played as singles (one player per side) or doubles (two players per side).
West Lothian Leisure is proud to offer Pickleball at 4 of our venues; Xcite Bathgate, Broxburn, East Calder and Linlithgow. We have 3 different ways to play and can provide the equipment needed for you to be able to enjoy a game.
