As you might surmise, we roam America everyday looking for Pickleball news articles to put on this blog. Each day we find one of more articles that purport to provide the equivalent of an "introduction to pickleball". Most such articles wander and stray and never really put the nuts and bolts together in a meaningful, appealing manner.
Well, this article from "The Daily Progress" in Charlotsville, Virginia, is easily one of the best "intro to pickleball" articles that we have yet seen. It's a fun read and covers the bases well without getting bogged down in one or more aspects of the sport. We're thinking about printing some copies to carry with us. This article would be a nice one to hand to people curious about pickleball.
Here's one of the many fun paragraphs in the article:
“You can walk up to any place in the country where pickleball is being played. You can show up without a paddle, without a ball, without any equipment, and I guarantee you someone is going to come over and hand you a paddle and say, ‘Here, come on and try this.’ And you’ll get hooked,” Graham said.
OK, here's the link: http://www.dailyprogress.com/lifestyles/generation-us-pickleball-s-fitness-and-fun-appeal-to-all/article_afb4e2b8-52b0-11e7-ba5f-c398f374692b.html
