Today I played pickleball with a group of 22 people only 3 of which I even knew a year ago when I first began to seek out venues to play pickleball . In my 40 + years of playing racket sports I have never looked forward so much to playing a sport and as matter been so consistent in regular exercise than playing pickleball which I currently play 3 times a week for 2 hours plus a session. What's the appeal, the following post describes it well:
"It’s hard for people to be social on tennis courts, since they are so big. There is a lot more competitiveness on tennis courts, which prevents people from becoming too social. Pickleball brings people together, and is a lot more fun to play than tennis. But don’t mistake having fun for a lack of competitiveness. Pickleball is quite competitive, that’s why people get hooked so easily. If you watch a few pickleball games, you will see people of all ages playing together. It’s not uncommon to see younger and older people playing against each other. > taken from: https://www.wolfesports.com/blogs/pickleball/pickleball-popularity-is-growing-fast-in-the-united-states
