Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. While a relatively young sport in the Netherlands, it is growing fast!
Out of pure love and passion for the sport, Krishna Thakrar decided to bring pickleball to The Hague. With the help of Amsterdam Pickleball Club, the first clinics were held in September 2016.
Eight years later in the Hague, we have grown into a committed community, with international players from different sport backgrounds including badminton, squash, tennis, table tennis, and even volleyball. As part of our growth, we have stepped up to the challenge participating at national and international tournaments.
Come and try one of the fastest growing sport in the world. We promise it will be a fun time!
