Things to Do
Pickleball
by John Nicola
Pickleball is a paddle sport played with a whiffle ball on a badminton-sized court and a tennis-style net. A non-volley zone (or kitchen) prevents volleys close to the net, and the serving team cannot volley the return of serve (two bounce rule) which decreases the importance of the serve and extends the length of rallies and the fun. These unique rules favor players with less mobility and allow senior players to compete successfully with younger competitors; there is an abundance of both. The game is enjoyed by people of all ages and athletic abilities because it is easy to learn and fun to play. The sport requires inexpensive equipment, is social and healthy, and has been widely accepted in country clubs, school gyms, fire stations, community centers, local parks, athletic clubs and thousands of backyard sports courts.
Pickle ball courts are easy to maintain and in recent years the sport has exploded in popularity, and thousands of pickleball courts have, and are, being built.
Come out and play. Newbies welcome!
