AARP Florida Hits the Court with a Pickleball Clinic Led by the Pros

This past week, AARP Florida brought energy, movement, and plenty of smiles to the court with a special Pickleball Clinic led by professional players from the APP Tour—and it was a smash hit.

With pickleball continuing to be one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, AARP was excited to give members and guests a chance to learn directly from the pros during a 90-minute, hands-on clinic designed for all skill levels. From first-time players to those looking to sharpen their game, participants enjoyed an engaging, supportive environment focused on both fun and fitness.

The clinic guided players through warm-ups, basic techniques, skill-building drills, and live gameplay, helping everyone feel more confident on the court. Beyond the physical benefits, pickleball offered something even more powerful: connection. Laughter echoed across the courts as players bonded, encouraged one another, and discovered just how social and addictive this sport can be.

Events like this reflect AARP’s commitment to helping people stay active, engaged, and mentally sharp. Pickleball isn’t just a workout; it’s a brain-boosting, mood-lifting way to support long-term health and happiness while building community.

Participants also had the opportunity to learn more about ways to get involved with AARP in Florida, from volunteering to advocacy and local events that make a real impact in communities across the state.

With limited spots available, the clinic filled quickly, another sign that Floridians are eager for fun, accessible ways to stay healthy and connected.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the court and helped make this event such a success. Stay tuned for more AARP Florida events that keep you moving, learning, and living life to the fullest on and off the court.
