Racquet Sports at PGA National

POP Tennis

The perfect activity for the entire family to enjoy. POP Tennis™ thoroughly engages and exhilarates you! Unlike sports that require prior lessons or a measure of athletic ability, players of all ages can just grab a racquet, a ball and a court, and have a fantastic time.

One of the fun things about POP Tennis is that everyone has their own unique playing style, so have a blast as you find yours! A POP Tennis court is smaller than a Tennis court, the racquet/paddle is shorter and the ball less lively. Additionally, the net is lower and the players serve underhand. These things make POP Tennis easy to play. The major benefits for players are that the rallies are generally longer than those of Tennis, there is more exciting net play, there is less court to cover and there are no overhead serves to learn. As a result, there is far less running as well as wear and tear on the back, legs, feet and shoulders.

Pickleball

A paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules for pickleball are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but it can also develop into a quick, fast-paced and competitive game for experienced players.

Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. Two, three or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports with the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and the net and rules similar to tennis with a few modifications.

Call the tennis shop for details on reserving a court and joining in the fun!
