Yongin KOTESOL and the Suwon Pickleball Association would like to invite all those interested to join us for a Saturday pickleball practice on October 19th from 1 to 5 pm.
In case you don’t know, pickleball is a rapidly growing paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It can be played both indoors and outdoors on a court similar in size to a doubles badminton court. The game is played with a perforated plastic ball and solid paddles, typically made of wood or composite materials.
We will be playing indoors, so please bring indoor training shoes. The Suwon Pickleball Association will graciously lend us their equipment, but if you have your own paddle, please bring it along. Wear comfortable clothes and bring some water. This game is not as intense as tennis, but you will most likely work up a sweat.
The Suwon Pickleball Association will be able to accommodate maximum 20 visitors, so please book a place as soon as possible.

There will be a few of us taking cars from Yongin, so if you are in the area, please let us know if you want a ride.
There are also buses running from the Suwon Station transit center. Bus number 42 from platform 12 takes about 40 minutes and runs right by the gymnasium.
