In the last few years, the popularity of pickleball has exploded. I'm going to be honest: when I first heard about pickleball years ago, I thought it was a new way to eat pickles, and I know I'm not alone in that thinking. However, soon I learned that pickleball was a cross between tennis, ping pong, and racquetball. Now it seems everyone plays pickleball. Since everyone is playing pickleball, it's time to find a partner and play it for our local kids.
