Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports and there is a good chance it will be an Olympic sport by 2028. I have played it once and thought it was a blast.

If tennis and ping pong had a child, it would be pickle ball. Great sport. The sport of tennis should be scared.

I Googled Pickleball and in every picture it’s a bunch of senior citizens playing.

And?
This board's irrational fear of "oooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllldddddddddd" is beyond frustrating. If it is enjoyable, it is enjoyable. Better than the oldsters sitting around idle, especially for those who have always been active and/or athletic.

Thoughts on the sport?
Are you a grandparent? Check one: [ ] Yes [ ] No

Are you over the age of 60? Check one: [ ] Yes [ ] No

If you answered "yes" to one or more of the questions above, pickle ball is the sport for you.

This. My future stepson is a teen and he likes it. Got me to play. It's a helluva workout, at least it is for me.

If it were a retirement sport, it wouldn't be an olympic sport.

Don't Ugh me. The sport was featured on Shark Tank and now is the most popular intramural sport on college campuses.

Who has a court in Baton Rouge


The tennis center at Highland Rd Park has some little courts that (I think) are meant for Pickleball.

Seems like you should try actually playing before going all in on building a court.
