Take Care of Each Other

Built for the game. Driven by connection.

E.H. Pickleball Club is the pickleball community at East Hartford Racquet Club, a year-round indoor home for learning, play, competition, and belonging.

Our purpose

Help people find movement, confidence, and one another.

We believe pickleball can be more than recreation. It can be an easy first step back into activity, a bridge between generations, a place to compete, and a reason to keep showing up for one another.

That is why our club begins with hospitality. We want new players to know where to go, experienced players to find meaningful competition, and every person to feel they contribute to the culture around them.

Taylor Heal

Operations Director and Head Pickleball Professional

A Babson College graduate who has taught more than 2,000 people, he combines thoughtful instruction with the operational leadership needed to create organized, welcoming, and competitive play.

Pickleball gave Taylor renewed purpose through movement and human connection. That experience drives his belief that a club can be more than a place to play—it can help people build confidence, resilience, joy, leadership, kindness, and a genuine sense of belonging.
