Pickleball - a sport one can learn in 15 minutes, but takes a lifetime to perfect. A sport for all ages. Addictive, fun, entertaining, competitive, recreational while promoting health and camaraderie. Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in North America. Sixty-eight percent of pickleball players are over the age of 60. However, in the last couple of years, the game has seen a surge in the youth demographic. Since 2010 the amount of pickleball facilities is up 62 percent to 5,000+ places to play. See www.usapa.org for places to play. For many, pickleball is a destination where people take their vacation.
“There’s something magical about pickleball — that you can have a
30-year-old and an
80-year-old playing the same game at the same time.” That quote was from Rusty Howes, creator, executive producer and on-air host of the Pickleball Channel at pickleballchannel.com.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the club is in abeyance. Once some normalcy returns to the world, the Club will assess the situation and will figure out an appropriate membership fee for the 2020-2021 season having regard
to future gym time that may be available to us.
