The City of Jackson, TN Parks and Rec and AARP will collaborate to host a Pickleball Clinic Tour at Westwood Tennis Center on Saturday, August 24, 2024 from 10 am A-1 pm (see time slots below).

“It’s always a wonderful occasion when we can support an event that blends health and fun, and it’s in a community that has been dedicated to ensuring everyone can choose how they live as they age,” said AARP Tennessee State Director, Mia McNeil. “Jackson has been a leader in what a livable community should look like from catering to its youngest citizens to its oldest. It is AARP Tennessee’s pleasure to be a partner in this journey, and we’re looking forward to further partnership with the city.”

According to the registration website, “the clinics will consist of a 60-minute on-court guided session with licensed instructors and focus on warm up, basic technique, skills building, and game play for players of all levels. Pickleball is a fun way to connect with friends, stay fit* (check with doctor before starting a new exercise regimen) and support your brain to help your health and happiness live as long as you do.”

“We are thrilled to have AARP partner with our Parks and Recreation Department to host a Pickleball Clinic at one of our tennis centers,” said Mayor Scott Conger. “This event is a fantastic opportunity for our seniors to stay active and engaged as we move closer to the opening of our new senior center.”
