Albany Area Schools Community Education

Denise Croatt, Avon Pickleball Club Member Are all of your friends and neighbors playing pickleball and you’re feeling left out? Never tried it but wondering what all the hype is about? Join us for an introductory class to learn all about the equipment, court, scoring, and rules and soon you will understand why pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the US! This sport is a combination of ping-pong, badminton and tennis and is much easier to learn than any of those three. We will get you up to speed in no time so you can feel confident to start playing the game with friends, family, and even complete strangers (not for long!). Paddles and balls will be provided! If class fills, an additional class will be offered at 7:45 pm.

Adam Patterson, 6th Degree Black Belt This advanced class will focus on the meaning of Karate and the application of the forms as they apply to real world self-defense. This program will be taught in a smaller group with the instructors helping students perform the self-defense techniques properly. The advanced class is required for any student wishing to become a first-degree black belt. Uniforms are encouraged but are not needed to attend class. New students who register before the third class will receive a free uniform. Testing: TBA.
