Pickleball popularity surges as new clubs launch in district
The sport of pickleball continues to grow in the Killarney area with the addition of a second club in Fossa and another new club on the district fringes in Duhallow.
Killarney Pickleball Club kicked off the new year by hosting two visiting clubs last week.
On Sunday, members welcomed their nearest neighbours from County Cork, the Duhallow club based near Kanturk.
On Tuesday morning, the club welcomed Fossa, their nearest local rivals in Kerry. The two groups were already well-acquainted as both clubs share a number of players between them.
Michael Lyne of the Killarney club noted that the growth of the sport locally has been remarkable. He highlighted the social and competitive benefits of these inter-club meetings, which help build a strong community for players of all ages and abilities.
For those looking to take up the sport, Fossa Pickleball currently plays on Thursday afternoons in the Old Church. Killarney Pickleball Club continues its regular schedule at the Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre, with sessions held on Tuesday mornings at 10:00 am and Thursday evenings at 8:00 pm.
