New to pickleball

Never played
pickleball before?

Great… You’ve found exactly the right place.

  • You’ve never played before.
  • You haven’t played sport for years.
  • You’re coming on your own.
  • You’d just like to give it a try.
  • Found some sports too taxing, or gym sessions too repetitive.

The Frenz promise

We’ll never ask you to be better than you are today.

We’ll simply help you become more confident than you were yesterday.

You’ll never be expected to prove yourself.

You’ll simply be encouraged to enjoy yourself.

That, to us, is what pickleball should be.

Almost everyone at Frenz can remember walking through the door for the first time.

Some hadn’t played sport for years. Life, dodgy knees.

Some came on their own, just to look, and stayed.

Most worried they wouldn’t be good enough or fit enough.

The good news is… You don’t have to be.

We outline your path forward so it’s realistic, enjoyable, and tailored to you, you wonderful future pickler…

You’ll fit in if…

You’re wondering the same things almost everybody wonders.

01

Will I slow everyone else down?

No.

One of the things that makes Frenz different is that we’ll introduce you to people who enjoy helping new players.

Nobody expects you to know what you’re doing. Everyone started exactly where you are now.

There’s almost always someone else new you can partner up with.
