Today is your day Boomer! I play pickleball twice a week in the winter....when not injured, and I just love the sport! Lots of good competition, socialization and different skill levels from different players....including many younger people who are taking up the sport. This sport is getting so big, cities like Vernon BC now have an indoor 12-court facility with over 700 members! New York City's Central Park hosts 15 courts and check out this picture. Fort Lauderdale, Florida is going BIG, really big as they get ready for the many retired Boomers/seniors that come to their state. Their new concept includes "stadium" pickleball, which means they can host huge national events with top players like tennis does. For me, I like our local club of 260 with two small indoor venues and one bigger outdoor spot. However, I can see the need for more courts soon....especially indoor courts for the winter season. Our membership is growing so quickly, it was capped this year! Boomers....cheers to the new pickleball revolution!!
