Pickleball is definitely fun. I urge going with PB 101 (free) instead of just going out to a court and trying to play. You can keep it at whatever level suits your competitive/fun-loving spirit. The rec centers divide playing time into different levels--beginner, advanced beginner, intermediate, etc.
