Pickleball has been discussed on the forum before but hasn't had its own thread for awhile so I thought I would start this one.
I've been playing Wednesday nights in a King of the Court League that is both competitive and social (3.5 to 4.5). It's about two-thirds men, but the women who play are primarily 4.0 and above. There are 32 slots, which are usually full shortly after the weekly sign-up announcement. All scores are entered into the DUPR rating system.
Afterwards, we gather at picnic tables next to the courts for beer, snacks and conversation. I tend to be introverted, but pickleball has forced me to be more social in a good way. I've been playing a little less than two years.
DW is a solid 3.0 player but is working to level up with skills and drills sessions offered by our local pickleball association, which has over 1000 members (a 40% increase in one year). We have 28 courts at four locations within a twenty minute drive of our residence.
