Southborough residents aged 60+ are invited to come out and play pickle ball this fall.
The free sessions are geared to beginners. Weather permitting, they take place afternoons from 4:30 – 6:30 on Thursdays through October 26th. (The fun started last week, but I just learned about it today.)
Drop-in is allowed, but participation is limited, so pre-registered participants will be given priority. And with limited paddles available, players are asked to bring their own.
Play is scheduled to take place at the Richardson Courts at Neary School.
