“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.

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 3,475 places to play. See www.usapa.org for places to play. For many, pickleball is a destination where people take their vacation. It is now estimated that 2.5 million people currently play pickleball with that number projected to hit 8 million by 2018.
