New Pickleball Court at Apache Family Campground & Pier!
Whether you’re here for sunshine, shoreline, or a little friendly competition, Apache Family Campground & Pier just gave you one more reason to love your stay in Myrtle Beach. We’re thrilled to announce the grand opening of our brand-new Pickleball Court — located right by the swimming pool, next to the basketball court, in a fully fenced-in recreational area!
🎉 Pickleball Fun for Everyone!
Open daily from 9:00 AM to dusk, our new pickleball court is available to all Apache Residents and registered guests. Whether you’re sharpening your skills, playing for fun, or just curious about the sport that’s sweeping the nation — we’ve got the perfect place to serve, smash, and score. No racket or pickleballs? No problem! Equipment rental is available at the Trading Post.
🏓 What is Pickleball, Anyway?
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States — and it’s easy to see why. It combines the best parts of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton into a fast-paced, easy-to-learn game that’s perfect for all ages and skill levels.
Played with a paddle and a perforated plastic ball, pickleball is low-impact, highly social, and a ton of fun. Whether you play singles or doubles, it’s an ideal activity for beachgoers looking to stay active and connect with others.
🔍 A Quick Look at the Game:
- Court Dimensions: 20’ x 44’ — smaller than a tennis court for quick, exciting rallies.
- Net Height: 36” at the sidelines and 34” in the center.
- Serving: Always underhand and must be served diagonally cross-court.
- Scoring: Only the serving team can score points. First to 11 wins (must win by 2).
- The Kitchen: A 7-foot no-volley zone on both sides of the net to keep the game strategic and fair.
🌟 Why You’ll Love It:
- Great for All Ages: Perfect for kids, parents, grandparents — everyone can play!
- Beginner-Friendly: Easy to pick up, even if you’ve never played before.
- Fitness with a Smile: A low-impact workout that keeps you moving and laughing.
- Social & Competitive: Whether casual or competitive, doubles matches create lasting memories.
