General Rules for the Court  
To ensure that everyone gets to play and to help move games along, we provide the following rules: Participants must be age 18 and over (any exceptions due to low number of participants must be approved by YMCA staff before entering the gymnasium). The first 10 participants physically in the gymnasium will be the first 5 v 5 game. The next 5 participants in the gymnasium will play the winner. Games are played to a maximum of 7 points Winners will stay on the court if 30 or fewer participants are in the gymnasium. If the court becomes crowded, the winner stays rules need to be modified: Games switch to “two and out” once the 31st participant enters the gymnasium. Once a session goes to “two and out” it remains that way until there are 30 or less participants.

Once you’ve played it, the attraction of pickleball—for seniors, especially—is clear. It’s fast-paced, low-impact, and familiar; anyone who’s played a racquet sport before can quickly get the hang of it. Because the court is small (it can fit into half or even a third of a tennis court), and doubles games are standard, players run a lot less than they would in tennis. Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis and is easy to learn! We provide open play and advanced level court times at the Aspirus Branch Gym. Please check gym schedules for times. Call Stephanie at 715-841-1854 for court information.
 

Racquetball emphasizes fun, skill development, sportsmanship, and teamwork in a positive environment. Both our branches feature multiple courts available for play or reservation for Y members. Non-members can purchase a day pass to use courts.
