Eye Protection

There have been a number of incidents at other Pickleball Clubs where players have been hit on the eye, with either a ball or a paddle.
We strongly suggest that all players wear protective eye cover at sessions.
This can be spectacles through to facemasks, the choice is yours, but we ask that you try to protect yourselves and your eyes.
We cannot make it compulsory but want to at least suggest you  wear some sort of eye protection.
Please ask the Sports Shops for goggle availability.

National Pickleball Open 2025

Roehampton Club Member, James Chaudry, competed in the 2025 National Pickleball Open Singles Tournament.

 

An overview of James’s tournament saw him defeat 5 out of 5 opponents in the group stages and going on to ⁠win the semi-final against a new up and comer 15-5.
The ⁠final, played as a best of three games, saw James up against Tom Turney.

 

A high quality performance from James gave him a 11-2 11-5 win to claim the singles National Pickleball title. It also completed the nationals ‘triple crown’ having previously won men’s doubles and mixed doubles in the same calendar year.  Congratulations to James.

England: European Champions!

 

On 23/24 November 2024 Roehampton Club Member James Chaudry and our then Golf and Games Manager Louis Laville, were a part of the England Team, representing the country in the European Championships in a team of 12.

 

Mixed Doubles took place on the Saturday and England played unbelievably well all day to go unbeaten in both Open and Senior Open to win 2 Mixed Doubles Golds. This put England in a strong position but still had work to do on Sunday in Gender Doubles.

 

The team pulled through on Sunday, and despite not winning a gold on the Sunday, all four divisions won silver! The only team to make it to every Final, gave England enough points to win the European Championships!

A huge congratulations to the team, the support from Roehampton Club Members throughout the weekend was fantastic!
