”about
We are an easy-going group of Mexican and International players who live in SMA full-time or weather the northern winters here. The club was started by an Australian in 2010 and has been growing steadily.
The weather is always perfect for Pickleball in San Miguel. We invite you to join us whether you are here visiting for a day, a month or live here full-time.
A Game for everyone
Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court using a ball similar to a whiffle ball (plastic ball with holes in it), but slightly smaller. The paddles are solid and light (about 7.5 ounces) and the net is 2″ lower than on a tennis court. The lower net, paddle size, and whiffle-style ball allow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities but also provides advanced players a competitive game.
It is typically played as doubles with 2 players on each side of the court, although not as common, singles games can be played as well.

Equipment & Set-up
The club does not loan equipment for daily use. Paddles are only available for club run kids and beginners lessons.
As you leave the courts, please check for rubbish and deposit in the garbage can near the running track fence or at the top of the steps.
Please place any articles left behind in the brown shed between courts #3 and #6 for the owner to pick up at a later time. Items will be removed on the first Friday of each month and donated to a local charity.
