From now through Aug. 27, kids ages 10-14 can learn pickleball basics at a free clinic at the Long Beach Township courts on 68th Street in Brant Beach. The Picklr-Manahawkin-LBI – a new indoor pickleball club off Rt. 72 in Manahawkin – has teamed up with the LBT Recreation Department to offer these sessions every Wednesday night from 6 to 7 p.m.

“Through a series of fun drills, games and hands-on instructions, after one clinic kids will be ready to play,” the township notes.
