Ready to roll? Use your future vacation to learn a new sport or hone your skills. Here are five ideas to consider:

1. Perfect Your Pickle Ball Skills in Arizona

Check in to the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa where 17 lighted courts and a full-service pro shop await. New to this paddle ball sport (a combination of badminton, ping pong, and tennis)? No problem. Sign up for group or individual instruction with a certified instructor. Later, the gang can cool off in the lazy river, frolic on the serpentine water slide or the kids splash pad, or simply soak up the sun. Book some spa time or a round on the championship Wildfire golf course. Ask about special packages, onsite walking trails, and bike rentals.
