I’d pickleball just a stupid version of badminton? Or tennis? That’s what it looks like.
It’s basically a cross between tennis and ping pong. The court is smaller, you play with a whiffle-ball type ball and hard paddle. There’s a spot right by the net called the “kitchen” where you can’t stand in while you volley.
It’s honestly just a fun game. It’s easier to pick up than tennis, and it’s more fun to play doubles. It’s also a little less physically taxing, it’s a really nice level of activity. Give it a shot sometime.
IMO it’s tennis for Boomers who can’t hack tennis anymore.
Call it whatever you want, it’s just an enjoyable new sport that a lot of people like. I’ll never get why people feel superior about not liking something that other people like.
I wonder what kind of growth regular football is at? Funny that it’s the most popular sport in the US by far but I know very few kids that play it. Flag football coming in at 25 is also surprising based on how much that’s being pushed in the last 5 years.
I was wondering the same, id like to see Football shrinking if anything. Maybe even enough so that many schools stop funding it so damn much over other things like arts and sciences
We’ve installed 4 pickleball courts in backyards in the past couple of years. One of them is the cover picture on a news article about how obnoxiously loud it gets in neighborhoods.
Fuck pickleball. Shits a cult.
