Program is designed for older, active adults and is very popular in many communities  It is not a new game, but one that is catching on very fast!  Pickle ball is  played by two teams of two and is scored similar to table tennis.  The game is played w paddles and balls, similar to a wiffle ball.  The court is about half the size of a tennis court, lending itself to faster action and quicker access to the ball.  


 


" Ultimately if it leads to another form of Recreation, especially  for our older, active residents, we are thrilled to offer it!" It is an athletic event program that can that can lead to a fun and social avenue.  We are offering this program to promote active aging.  It does not have the stress level of tennis, making great for all kinds of people, in terms of ability - even those with physical limitations - but be sure to seek a medical opinion should you need one.  It tends to move as fast as the players play, therefore lending itself to a great aerobic exercise.  "It's a very friendly sport and with the opportunity to have a coffee or cold drink, friendships will be formed!


 


"At the rate it's growing one can imagine pickle ball reaching the "real" Olympics in no time" quoted Dick Gellis, pickle ball coordinator for the Wayland Longfellow Club that has offered pickle ball since 2011.
