I would be game, I like all racket sports except racketball and squash.

I suspect they are on pickleball courts cause there no 100 grand platform tennis courts? 8 to 10 am open play pickleball I would think to play that would have to have group and court reservation after 12 noon? Is the ball similar to master tennis balls? Which are deflated (non pressure) tennis balls?
