Pickleball is slower than tennis unless you play with power players. It is a game of Patience and Placement. I have seen men/women in their mid 80's playing this sport. Great eye/hand coordination. Some play for fun and others play very very seriously.

I invite you to check out this website www.usapa.org ..... You will see videos of the game being played.

This is a very very popular sport in Az, WA, and FL. It is played in Senior Games in all states. The younger population, such as myself...under 50...is playing. In WA it is played at the middle/high school levels with competition. On the USAPA website you can check out 'Places to Play'...you may have a place in your home town.
