This summer, Madison School and Community Recreation (MSCR) will launch a youth beginner pickleball instruction program for kids going into the 3rd – 9th grades. Classes will be taught on Madison’s west side at the pickleball courts in Elver Park and on the east side at the courts in Door Creek Park.
There will be 4 two-week sessions of classes that families can choose from. The classes will be taught Monday – Thursday mornings. One class will be held from 9:30-10:15 am, and another class will be held from 10:30-11:15 am. To clarify, a given child only has to register for one 2-week session and one 45-minute class period each day of that session.
The sessions will run as follows:
Session 1: 6/22/2026 – 7/2/2026
Session 2: 7/6/2026-7/16/2026
Session 3: 7/20/2026-7/30/2026
Session 4: 8/3/2026 – 8/13/2026
Registration for Madison residents will open at noon on April 6, 2026, and at noon on April 20, 2026, for non-residents. You can register your child at mscr.org.
Paddles and balls will be provided for free for kids to use during the class.
Parents: please ensure your child arrives for class wearing some form of eye protection, which could include sunglasses. They should also wear tennis shoes with non-marking soles and bring something cold to drink.
