Last week my husband David and went for a walk in the town near us. We found the pickleball courts. There were about 6 courts and they were all busy. Several of the pickleball players stopped to chat with us on their way in or out from the courts. It seems that pickleball players are a friendly bunch. I understand that pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in North America!
This is my response to John’s Cellpic Sunday I took the photo with my Samsung S 20.

I have never heard of Pickleball either!
It may just be in North America but it’s coming to you soon 😀
No conversations allowed on the court i guess.
Lots of the players were chatting..I don’t think its a very strict game.
Ha!
I don’t understand why it’s called pickle ball. But I do like pickles.
There are two different stories about the name..one is that the people who invented the game had s dog named Pickle who liked the ball. Apparently that is the favorite story.
Lol, thanks.
It is becoming a thing in the US. Local health and fitness clubs are adding them outside.
I think it becoming a thing here in Ontario too.
Several of our friends who live in Arizona play Pickleball, and just recently, we’ve found some activity here in North Dakota as well. I’ve never taken the opportunity to try it.
It looks like fun
Never heard of pickleball. Guess it has not made it in Lisbon yet 🙂
It is a smaller court than tennis and has a solid racquets. The ball is not solid but has holes! Those who play well ger up quite a speed and the ball whizzes back and forth. It looks like fun.
Indeed it is. And it seems to be played at every age. They just build a few courts near my home and people are there from early morning until late at night. What is nice, no one hogs the courts. The loser steps out and the rotation continues through the day.
They all seem to be friendly and even the ones that play very well don’t seem to be aggressive about it. Thanks for commenting!
