New to Pickleball? Start With an Intro to Pickleball Class at RECS
Pickleball Made Easy for Beginners
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the US, and our beginner Intro to Pickleball class is the easiest way to start. Classes run at RECS in Clackamas, Camas, and Tualatin, and one of our pro pickleball instructors teaches each one. You don’t need any experience, and we’ll lend you a paddle.


What You’ll Learn in Your Intro Class
Our Intro to Pickleball class covers the basic mechanics and shots you need to start playing: serves, ground strokes, volleys, and dinking. We’ll also go over how scoring works and the kitchen rule (the no-volley zone by the net), so you can step into your first game feeling confident.
Who It’s For
The class is for true beginners, people coming back after a break, and anyone who’s played tennis or another racquet sport and wants to learn the pickleball basics. You’re welcome to come on your own, since plenty of people do and leave with new playing partners.
What to wear
Wear a comfortable tee or tank with athletic shorts or pants. For safety and performance, non-marking court shoes are required. You don’t need to buy a paddle yet, because we’ll have one for you.


Our Vibe
We’re all about being good sports and having a good time. Come ready to make some friends, learn pickleball, and have fun. Our instructors are happy to answer any questions.
