Pickleball is unlike any other sport (some call it an activity). Here are some reasons to get out there and try it:
• Experience – No experience is necessary to play, and pickleball is known to welcome newcomers.
• Socializing – Want to get out and meet new people? This is the way!
• Exercise – Want to get in 5000 steps? Play for two hours.
• Access – Unlike a sport such as tennis, you can show up at the park during open play with or without a partner and you’ll be warmly welcomed on the court.
Go on, give it a try and find your tribe!
