We play at least 4 times a week here. It is said to be the fastest growing sport in the us. There are approx 2 million players world wide and is expected to grow to 8 million in the next 2 to 3 years. The draw is you can fit 2 pickleball courts in one tennis court and there is less running and wear and tear on the body. There is a place in Florida called the villages that has over 100 courts in their community. We were introduced to the game while on vacation in an over 55 Rv park in Tucson and were immediately hooked. I am sure it won't be long. before we hear of a tennis court being striped out so we can play on the island somewhere.
