How to Celebrate National Pickleball Day
Those who are just learning about pickleball or who have been avid fans for years are invited to celebrate National Pickleball Day. Get started and get involved with some of these ideas:
Find a Pickleball Court
The equipment for pickleball is simple, just an affordable racket and a cheap plastic ball. But some people might be wondering where to play!
With a court that is the same size as a badminton court for doubles, pickleball courts can often be found associated with tennis courts.
These courts might be included in a tennis club or indoor gym that requires a fee to join, or they are now even beginning to pop up in local parks and other spaces that are free to use.
Check out the online resource offered by Pickleheads to find access to local courts as well as to discover games nearby or recruit players.
Become a Competitive Pickleball Player
Forget playing at Wimbledon or the US Open! Instead, become a professional, competitive pickleball player. Those sporty types who just love the game may find that this is the career route for them – or perhaps it’s just a fun side gig.
Either way, to get headed in the right direction, first join a local pickleball club that supports tournaments and then become a master at the game. Participate in tournaments and ladder leagues, and don’t forget to attend plenty of events where it’s possible to watch the pros.
Those who are serious about the sport can get a coach, work hard, and may even find themselves becoming a pickleball champion!
