ELIZABETHTON â The Elizabethton Parks and Recreation Department is promoting a new recreational sport called pickleball.
Part of the departmentâs effort to promote the sport will be the offering of free introductory sessions each month this summer in order to give the public access to learn about pickleball and to try out the game.
These sessions will take place at the Recreation Center, 300 W. Mill St. The July sessions will be on July 17 and 31 from 9-10 a.m. Paddles and balls will be provided and participants will only be required to bring athletic shoes.
Michele Zoerb will be facilitating the Introduction to Pickleball sessions as well as the development of further pickleball program activities.
