Pickleball Adult 19+ and Adult 55+The City of Burlington is offering registered pickleball lessons for players of all levels - from those new to the sport, returning after injury, beginner and recreational intermediate players who enjoy fast, agile game play. Many drop-in times and locations are also available.

All registered lessons follow a progression according to skill level. Identify the level that suits your abilities best. Instructors and staff are happy to assist. Advanced players who choose to play in programs designed for less advanced players will be asked to play down to the program level advertised in all cases.

What level am I?All Pickleball lessons and drop-in programs are organized by player skill level. You will need to determine your skill level in order to fit into a program that is suited to your learning needs.

Please refer to the “What level am I?” chart which can be found at burlington.ca/pickleball.

What if I choose the wrong level?No problem! Our staff and instructors will help you through any class which is a little too demanding for your skill level, and will suggest a better program fit for you moving forward.
