The Sir Ben Ainslie Sports Centre is delighted to welcome Kernow Pickleball to our courts every Thursday evening, as the club continues to grow in popularity across Cornwall.
Since its formation in 2016, Kernow Pickleball has provided a welcoming and inclusive environment for players of all ages, abilities and fitness levels. The club has become a thriving community where members can enjoy regular exercise, meet new people and develop their skills in one of the UK’s fastest-growing sports.
In recent years, interest in pickleball has surged, with membership numbers steadily increasing. The club trains at a variety of locations across Cornwall, but the facilities at the Sir Ben Ainslie Sports Centre have proved particularly valuable. Access to multiple courts within one sports hall is a rare find in Cornwall and provides the perfect setting for club sessions and social play.
Players travel from across the county, with some members making the journey from as far as St Just to take part in the weekly sessions. Throughout the evening, players partner up for doubles matches and rotate between courts, creating a friendly and sociable atmosphere while enjoying competitive play against a variety of opponents.
On any Thursday evening, the sports hall is filled with laughter, teamwork and plenty of energy as players move between courts. The sport offers an excellent workout while remaining accessible to players of all standards, making it easy for newcomers and experienced players alike to get involved.
We are proud to support Kernow Pickleball and its growing community, and look forward to welcoming players to the Sir Ben Ainslie Sports Centre for many years to come.
