Pickleball is just starting to explode exponentially in Costa Rica! But, only a few locations allow groups to come and play for a week and have exclusive use of their courts.
We will provide the nets, balls and taping of the courts, as most resorts don’t provide this. Just bring you paddle, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. Midday gets warm.
DEPOSIT: $500 per person is non-refundable but can be applied to a future trip. Travel insurance is recommended.
BALANCE DUE DATE: 60 days in advance of the tour start date.
