What's this?

Pickleball is awesome.


I grew up playing it indoors on gym floors as a kid. We did it for phys ed in the winter when we got worn out of floor hockey and basketball.

We had big tournaments. It was super competitive. Generally played doubles.

Quick games. They don’t take all day to play.

Great for folks with less mobility who can’t play tennis as well. It’s a blast to play. Combo of tennis and ping pong as i describe it.

Some folks label it as an old person sport. But if you play it competitively there are some great athletes involved.
