The La Hacienda Rec Center just ordered touchtennis balls and racquets for anyone to use.

Same for Everglades. They prefer it played in the platform Tennis cages with tennis like scoring.

Tennis players in New York hate pickleball players.

Pickleball Is Expanding. Tennis Is Mad.

It is a good thing we don't live in Long Beach, California. The city has a population of 460,000 and only has one dedicated pickleball court and 57 tennis courts.

Why are pickleball players bending over so low to get to a low bouncing ball with a short paddle?

Because we can! When I get physically unable to bend and stretch I’ll consider a change, but for now it’s great exercise.

A great alternative to solving pickleball noise pollution.
