Been playing tennis for over 50 years and still play 4 times per week. To play tennis requires scheduling four people in my case; since I always play doubles. The groups I play with schedule weeks and three months in advance.

At my age and stage in life, I experience unpredictable aches and pains; but still get out there and play tennis because I made a commitment.

On the other hand, pickleball can be played (like going to the playground) by merely showing up between 7:00am and 10:00AM any day of the week. I can show up based on how I felt getting out of bed. It frees me from any commitments and I find it equally as enjoyable as tennis.
