The fastest growing sport in the United States will officially arrive on Desborough Island this Friday.

The recently opened MUGA courts have already hosted matchdays and training nights for the netball section, and Pickle Ball will now follow suit in November.

The club is currently working in the background on a court booking and payment system - as well as a court gate code system - in order to welcome pickle ball players to the club between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday.

"As a club we continually need to find ways to increase revenue and profitability particularly when the club is at its quietest," explained president Kevin Keaney.

"Thanks to our new MUGA courts - which have eight Pickle Ball courts - this is an opportunity to do just that."

The club will be launching Pickle Ball at Vandals with a friendly and fun inter club tournament under the floodlights on Friday, November 6. All ages and abilities welcome.

The action starts at 6:30pm - with the bar open for refreshments - and you can register here or contact netball club captain Ellie Bicknell on 07900 365683 for more information.
