re: Why has Pickleball become so popular?

We just picked it up. Local rec has it for free. They have nets setup in the gym with courts taped off. You can play 3 courts next to each other.

We can play with the kids easily. Even my 7 year old. They play tennis and it's a learning curve there as well as having to traverse and entire court on little legs.

They can be successful at pickle ball. Put some tunes on and go play with them. Especially nice is inside the gym when its 105 outside.
