Lessons and Social Clubs
Pickleball and tennis activities at Lake of the Woods (LOW) are jointly organized by three groups: the Pickleball/Tennis Committee (P/Tec), the Pickleball Club, and the Tennis Club. Many LOW players are also members of USA Pickleball and/or the U.S. Tennis Association (USTA).
Pickleball
The LOW Pickleball Club (LOWPBC) is a vibrant, welcoming community open to all adults aged 18 and older. Played with a paddle and a wiffle-style ball, pickleball is typically enjoyed as a doubles game and can be played both indoors and outdoors on LOWA's well-maintained courts. Indoor adult pickleball is held at the Community Center, Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Hours may vary, so we recommend calling ahead to confirm availability.
Free beginner classes are offered every Thursday from 10:10 AM to noon, with occasional Saturday sessions at the Community Center — no amenity or club membership required. Club equipment, including paddles, is available for those who'd like to give the sport a try.
Please note that an amenity membership is required to join the Pickleball Club. Club membership provides access to Sign-Up Genius, which allows members to reserve court times and participate in organized events, such as:
-
Deal Pickle – a relaxed, non-competitive way to learn the game and meet fellow members
-
Ladder League – held every Sunday
-
Social events – throughout the season
Tennis
Rules and procedures for tennis play are posted at the outdoor courts. Tennis socials are held in June, July, and August, with details published in the Lake Currents. To be added to the tennis directory or to learn more, please contact [email protected] or call 540-972-2237.
