Pickleball - Adult
We have pickleball!
Program Overview
So what is this funny-named sport? The best way to describe pickleball is a combination of badminton and ping pong, but with its own unique paddle and ball. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America right now, with 19.8 million Americans enjoying it at any given time. This is a highly social, fun sport that can be as casual or competitive as you would like!
Our program has a range of friendly players that meet throughout the whole week. We have sessions every day of the week almost 365 days a year for all skill levels, from beginner to competitive. Please find more details below about how to join and enjoy our program all year round, especially if you are brand new to the sport!
Indoor Season 26-27!
Indoor season begins October 1, 2026 inside the Isabelle Miller Gym at Peterborough Community Center located at 25 Elm Street. Indoor season means that the "default" location for pickleball is the gym, and pickleball will only be outside for desirable weather conditions. We do not allow drop-ins and guests (5-visit punch cards) for the indoor season due to the lack of space, except for our beginner session and during the month of October only when sessions move outside. Please read on for more details about that exception.
Signing Up for Sessions: Our program uses a website called Playtime Scheduler to sign up for sessions since we have limited space during the indoor season. Create a free account here, and then begin to sign up for the sessions you intend to play at. We can only take 14-15 people per indoor session (unlimited for outdoor sessions), so please be mindful and considerate of this. If you sign up for a session and can no longer attend, please take your name off the list so someone on the waiting list could have a chance at the spot.
Drop-ins and guests via 5-visit punch passes will not be allowed as of October 1st unless sessions are taking place outside. If a session is moved outdoors by the session keyholder on Playtime Scheduler, you may join the session. Otherwise, do not sign up for sessions on Playtime Scheduler if you are a punch pass holder, and monitor the session on Playtime to see if it is moved outdoors. For information about the 5-visit punch pass system, please review the informational handout linked at the bottom of this page.
Parking for Indoor Play: Parking is currently on the SIDE of the PCC building due to fire station construction. Enter through the front of the building where you will put your shoes and stash your belongings.

Registration & Sign-In At The Session: Please register & pay for pickleball online prior to playing with a quarterly or monthly membership. There will be a binder inside the orange box or in the gym with pages of sign-in sheets where you will find your name and check it off. If your name is not on the sign-in sheet, that means you are a punch pass holder and should simply sign in with your name and date and get your punch pass punched.
