Reading Pickleball Club
Reading Pickleball is an established and growing community pickleball club serving Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. It offers adults a welcoming way into the sport, from complete beginners and social players through to improvers and competitive players. The club’s aim is to make pickleball accessible, enjoyable and inclusive, helping players of all abilities start, play and progress.
The club’s activities include beginner sessions and introductory tasters, regular social play across multiple venues, structured coaching and improver sessions, DUPR-rated competitive matchplay, and tournaments, leagues and community events. Sessions are held indoors at venues across Reading and the surrounding areas, so play can continue all year round.
New players are especially welcome, and no experience is needed. Beginners are guided through the basics, from serving and rallying to the non-volley zone, before joining friendly games at their level. They learn alongside other beginners in a relaxed and supportive environment. Paddles and balls are provided, so players only need to bring non-slip trainers, a water bottle and a willingness to give it a go.
Joining is done in three steps. Players first complete a short registration form so the club understands their experience and can direct them to the right sessions. The club then sends details of suitable sessions, including where and when they take place and what to bring. Once the registration has been reviewed, a Spond joining code is sent by WhatsApp, and players can then join the club and book sessions through the Spond app.
