Pickleball Adult 19+ and Adult 55+The City of Burlington is offering registered pickleball lessons for players of all levels - from those new to the sport, returning after injury, beginner and recreational intermediate players who enjoy fast, agile game play. Many drop-in times and locations are also available.

All registered lessons follow a progression according to skill level. Identify the level that suits your abilities best. Instructors and staff are happy to assist.

Our staff and instructors will help you through any class which is a little too demanding for your skill level, and will suggest a better program fit for you moving forward.
