ABOUT
Lake Chapala Pickleball offers many opportunities for Pickleball players in the Chapala / Ajijic area of Central Mexico. Players can enjoy open play, reserved courts for groups, group and individual training, and occasional tournament play. We welcome players of all skill-levels.
Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court using a ball similar to a whiffle ball (yellow plastic ball with holes in it), but slightly smaller. Pickleball paddles are solid and light (about 7.5 ounces) like an oversized ping pong paddle and the net is 2" lower than on a tennis court. The lower net, paddle size, and whiffle-style ball allow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities and allows competitive players to have a good workout.
