Pickleball, chocolate, and something genuinely different at The Court Yard. Nobody needs to have played before, and nobody has to stand in a circle saying an interesting fact about themselves.
Enquire about a team dayThe Court Yard has indoor courts and a kitchen under one roof, which is the bit that makes this work.
Pickleball is the easiest racket sport to pick up. A team with a wide range of ages and fitness will all be having proper rallies inside half an hour, which is not true of most activities.
Split the group, swap them over, or run one after the other. People who have had enough of the court have somewhere else to be.
Our own venue rather than a hired hall, so we can shape the day around your group instead of around a booking slot. Weather is not a factor.
Starting points rather than fixed packages — we will put real numbers to whichever suits once we know your group.
A relaxed introduction to the game, then games and activities. Nobody needs to arrive knowing how to play, and the coaching is pitched at complete beginners.
Pickleball combined with one of our Kitchen experiences — the Truffle Shuffle being the one people ask for most. See what that involves.
Tell us the group, the time you have and what the day is for, and we will build something around it rather than fitting you into a package.
Nobody needs to have played pickleball before.
That is not a reassuring line on a website — it is the actual reason we suggest it for a team. Everyone starts level.
A half day that people turn up to willingly, and talk about afterwards for reasons other than the sandwiches.
An alternative to the pub, and considerably easier to include everybody in.
Physical activity that people actually enjoy, rather than a talk about the importance of physical activity.
Nothing is fixed yet — numbers, timings and cost all depend on your group. Tell us roughly what you are after and we will come back with something real.
