In pickleball, players can come closer than 6 feet at/near the net.

IMO There no connection between outdoor sport and catching the virus. It all speculation. Golfers get closer than 6 feet, people in restaurants get closer than 6 feet, people in stores get closer than 6 feet. No reason to Not open out door activities for individual play. I can see restrictions large group activities as precaution. Can’t stay closed for ever. I will admit bocce and shuffleboard are closer and harder to keep separated.
