Equipment:

Paddles: Do I need to purchase my own paddle? The Mono Pickleball Club has paddles for new members that they can try out before they purchase their own paddle. There are many locations where you can purchase a paddle, for example: Canadian Tire, Amazon, Marketplace, and other specialty stores. It is recommended that you purchase a composite paddle (not wood or aluminum).  
 

Shoes:
What type of running shoes should I wear?  Any type of shoe that is for court use (not running shoes) and designed to support motion in all directions. If you have mobility or balance concerns, you may want to consult a “foot” specialist to select an appropriate type of shoe for this sport.

 

Clothing
Gym clothing i.e., shorts, leggings, track pants, etc. Comfort is key!

Water: It is recommended that you bring your own water bottle. Some venues do not have water available.


Place of residence:

Mono Pickleball Club home courts  will be a “state of the art” facility:

Our “MPC home” is at Mono College Park (Cardinal Woods). The existing tennis courts will be redesigned into 6 permanent, dedicated pickleball courts this year. The courts will reopen once reconstruction is complete.  This is tentatively planned for Sept 2023. MPC members are excited that in 2024 MPC will be home to 6 “state of the art” pickleball courts.
