KNOXVILLE PICKLEBALL
Pickleball is America's fastest growing sport and specifically is a mixture of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. It's fast, fun, and exciting and is VERY popular in groups of aging citizens! However, Pickleball is fun for people of all ages and no experience is necessary to play! So, join in the fun and learn something new with Pickleball! Equipment is available to use at Rec Centers. No experience required.

ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
The Parks and Recreation Department is very thankful for our community's continued support in growing the sport of Pickleball in our wonderful City! We have enjoyed being a part of this growth with the opportunities we have provided thus far and look forward to providing more and more opportunities in the future! With that being said, we wanted to inform you of a change that we are implementing at the beginning of this fiscal year, specifically July 1, 2017. After lots of research, department meetings, discussions with several local Pickleball players, etc., we have decided to implement a Pickleball Membership opportunity that is available to each of you. Click on the "Membership Information" link below to find information regarding fees, benefits, registration information, etc. Also listed is our new "Pickleball Code of Conduct" as well as a PDF called "Knoxville Pickleball: Celebrating our Past & Shaping the Future", that specifically answers frequently asked questions to this most recent membership addition.
If you choose to forego signing up for the membership at this time, you can still sign up at any point throughout the year (the membership fee will decrease each quarter and will start over July 1, 2018). Keep in mind, we will still be charging daily fees at the Recreation Centers throughout the year if you are a non-member. Daily fees are listed below per center offering.

INDOOR OPEN PICKLEBALL OFFERINGS
Knoxville Parks & Recreation is committed to the growth and development of pickleball and the local pickleball community with open play opportunities as well as more competitive offerings, such as tournaments and leagues. Did you know that since the fall of 2013 (when we began offering pickleball at one recreation center) we have increased our pickleball offerings to 21 indoor pickleball courts at 9 rec centers and 10 outdoor pickleball courts at 2 parks? Therefore, in order to support the future growth and need of the game of pickleball in our City, there will be a nominal fee to play pickleball during indoor play at recreation center beginning May 30, 2017. We are currently researching "frequent player passes" and hope to have more information in the coming weeks.
