Training

Welcome to the sport of Pickleball, America’s fastest-growing sport with more than 4.8 million people now playing.  We can help you to learn to play this fun and exciting sport during Morning Play Time – just come to the East Courts and introduce yourself.

We offer a basic info lesson to WBV Homeowners, their house guests and to WBV Renters.  These lessons are Free and the only requirement is for participants to sign a WVA Waiver.  The form is available at the Vista’s Rec. desk or it may be printed from the Membership page.  

If you just want to hit balls with a friend, there are 4 paddles available to check out at the Vistas desk.
