It's one of the main bases for pickleball activity in Sapporo.<\/p>\n<h3>Features of the Indoor Court<\/h3>\n<p>Being indoors, it isn't affected by the weather, so you can play year-round even in the snowy winter. Balls, nets, lines, and shoes are available to borrow for free, and paddles can be rented for around 100 yen, making it an easy environment to join empty-handed.<\/p>\n<h2>Usage Guide<\/h2>\n<h3>Fees and Reservations<\/h3>\n<p>You can take part as a drop-in or in a class format. Because dates, times, and fees vary, check the official information before use.<\/p>\n<h3>Access and Contact<\/h3>\n<p>It's located at 1-jo 2-chome 12-1 Yonesato, Shiroishi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. For detailed directions and the latest reservation methods and fees, see the official information (<a href=\"https:\/\/neo-spo.com\/welcomepickleball%EF%BC%81\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official website<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>An Attached Court Where You Can Use Your Tennis Experience<\/h2>\n<h3>Casually with Equipment Rental<\/h3>\n<p>At courts that make use of tennis and sports facilities, paddles, balls, and nets are often loaned out, so a feature is that it is easy to try even empty-handed.<\/p>\n<h3>Grasp the Difference from Tennis<\/h3>\n<p>Pickleball uses a smaller court than tennis, a lighter paddle, and a perforated lightweight ball. Once players with tennis experience get a feel for the kitchen (non-volley zone), they can improve quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>For First-Timers<\/h2>\n<h3>The Rules Are Simple<\/h3>\n<p>Because the rules are easy to understand and rallies continue easily, it can be enjoyed regardless of exercise experience or age. It is recommended to first try hitting the ball in a trial.<\/p>\n<h3>Continue Without Strain<\/h3>\n<p>Easy-to-move-in clothes and, indoors, non-marking shoes provide peace of mind. Playing regularly, even for short sessions, stabilizes your feel for the game.<\/p>\n<h2>Enjoy Pickleball in Hokkaido<\/h2>\n<p>In Sapporo, where the snowy season is long, indoor facilities are the center of year-round play. Because equipment rentals are well stocked, it's also a good place for beginners to try the sport for the first time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pt-area-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/coart\/hokkaido-pickleball-facilities\/\">\u25b6 See the list of facilities where you can play pickleball in Hokkaido<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ssp_meta_description":"","swell_btn_cv_data":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"region":[],"venue_area":[244],"venue_type":[254],"venue_surface":[],"venue_indoor":[261],"venue_facility":[267],"venue_booking":[272],"venue_fee":[],"class_list":["post-3923","venue","type-venue","status-publish","hentry","venue_area-hokkaido","venue_type-multipurpose","venue_indoor-indoor","venue_facility-rental-equipment","venue_booking-individual-booking"],"acf":{"address_text":"\u5317\u6d77\u9053\u672d\u5e4c\u5e02\u767d\u77f3\u533a\u7c73\u91cc1\u67612\u4e01\u76ee12-1","lat":"","lng":"","court_count":"","photo_url":null,"place_id":"","reservation_url":"","official_url":"https:\/\/neo-spo.com\/welcomepickleball%EF%BC%81\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue\/3923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/venue"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3923"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=3923"},{"taxonomy":"venue_area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_area?post=3923"},{"taxonomy":"venue_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_type?post=3923"},{"taxonomy":"venue_surface","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_surface?post=3923"},{"taxonomy":"venue_indoor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_indoor?post=3923"},{"taxonomy":"venue_facility","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_facility?post=3923"},{"taxonomy":"venue_booking","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_booking?post=3923"},{"taxonomy":"venue_fee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pickle-times.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue_fee?post=3923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
