Thanks guys for posting this. I have been to TV twice and I have never got a chance to play or see pickleball.

As a wannabe. I can't wait to find out.

This past Saturday I attended the TV art fair at the Lake Miona rec center (excellent art fair, so many talented villagers!) and I watched pickleball being played -- looked like doubles. Looked like fun and something I could try.

Thanks guy. We bought our home in TV this past February after dreaming about living there for the past 6 years. We are presently still working in Cape Coral , but will be coming up for a few days at a time until we retire. We have watched the pickle ball games being played from time to time and now look foward to taking lessons the next time we are up for an extended stay. The news clips are great.

With 108 courts, TV has a wait of about 30 minutes between (15 minute) games during the snowbird season.

Kinda depends on where you go and when. Yes, during morning open play some courts can get pretty crowded "in season". Go to any courts at say 2pm (which is a nice time of day in Feb/Mar) and most will be empty. Just don't want folks to get the impression that all courts are busy all the time in winter months.
