Well, all my doubts were thrown out the window after seeing her reaction - SHE LOVED IT! She said the instructors are nice, the other kids were fun and she made a few new friends to boot. I'm currently talking to them about private instruction and can't wait to enroll her in the fall/winter programs. I would definitely recommend this place.

The staff at this tennis club is indeed the best on Eastern Long Island.

Pam has been there there the longest now, and is THE BEST MATCHMAKER ever!! She really knows how to make up a great tennis game or match, singles or doubles, as she knows all the players - 100's of them. If you want a game here, you will get a good one.

They're either pink for practice or yellow for games. And they aren't made of rubber, they are plastic polymer whose chief characteristic is that it doesn't bounce very high. If you drop it from over your head, it will barely bounce to knee level. Learning (and remembering that fact about low bounces) is just one of the many things you'll need to master if you want to take up the sport. Pickleball was launched in the mid-1960s and is played on a smallish court with a modified tennis net, using a paddle and those perforated polymer balls. I'd best describe the game as the love child of tennis, ping pong and badminton. When you hit the ball, it sounds more like a thud than a ping! Similar to tennis, your goal is to hit the ball over the net and into your opponent's side while adhering to a myriad of rules about serving and counting bounces and staying away from a zone in front of the net that reminded me of the goalie's cease in hockey. Dill Dinkers has 20 locations across ten states. There is just one Connecticut location. Yesterday, we took our very first pickleball lesson at Dill Dinkers in Simsbury, in a space previously occupied by Borders Books. We joined a beginner's class with about 20 rookies and interacted with three exceptional and very patient coaches who gave us lesson time, practice drills and embryonic game play with instant feedback on performance and the rules (which I consistently violated). For the third year in a row, Pickleball is the country's fastest growing sport, and their courts are taking over empty shopping mall space across the country. After one lesson, I am looking forward to charting my "progress" over the next three weeks. I'm not very optimistic about that!

As someone who's played in several difference places in different states, I can say this Dill…read moreDinkers location is by far the best pickleball facility I've ever played at! The courts have a great aesthetic and have really good quality surfaces. My favorite part is how much space there is between the baselines and the fences. Not once did I have to worry about hitting the barriers, and that allowed me to play much more freely. We encountered a technical difficulty during a tournament that caused us to play an opponent out of order, slightly messing things up which was a little frustrating in the moment. But the tournament organizer did a great job resolving it, and went above and beyond to offer some compensation in the form of free court time and some waived fees which is a huge testament to their customer service. I really appreciated that gesture. Will definitely be back here!

Jason, the owner, was really helpful in thinking through a racket that would work for me based on my style of play, skill level and past racket. There is a demo program available but since I'm not local I just trusted his opinion and pulled the trigger. He was spot on. Really glad I got some tailored advice as my internet search for a new racket was leading me down a rabbit hole. My new racket was strung up and ready to go within an hour. Would recommend to anyone local or visiting the north fork like I was.
