The Y.M.C.A. East Hampton RECenter's pickleball clinic this week comes at just the right time, with the relatively new sport rising in popularity locally and nationally.

The free clinic is Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will be led by Vinny Mangano, an ambassador for the sport's official organization, the U.S. Pickleball Association.

The clinic is open to Y.M.C.A. members. Participants should take with them a paddle if they already have one. Sign-up ahead of time is required, and can be done by calling 631-329-6884 or using the Y.M.C.A.'s mobile app.

Two large, brightly lit vending machines dominate the space, with offerings ranging from sea salt crackers and slabs of French butter to jars of caviar and curated gift boxes — and, of course, cheese.
