Blending the best elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, pickleball offers fast-paced rallies, strategic shot placement, and tons of fun—no matter your age or experience level.

At South End, you’ll find nine professionally maintained pickleball courts, including three convertible paddle tennis courts, designed to accommodate both casual play and competitive action. Whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned player, the club fosters an inclusive, welcoming environment where learning and competition go hand in hand.


Padel

2 Courts


Padel is played on an enclosed outdoor court with turf. Scoring is the same as normal tennis and the balls used are similar. The main difference is that the court has walls and that the ball can be played off them. This fast-paced sport, similar to tennis but with walls, is perfect for those seeking a new challenge.
