My parents are actually dealing with the opposite of this - they’re avid tennis players, and were rather annoyed when the tennis courts a few blocks from their house were converted to pickleball courts. And while it’s not too bad to temporarily set up a pickleball net on a tennis court, you can’t easily convert a pickleball court for tennis due to the dimensions.
Last I heard, their Medicare provider gave them pickleball stuff and they were going to try it.
Also, does anyone know where all this pickleball hype is coming from? I’m sure it’s a fun sport, but with how quickly it’s taken off it feels like someone is spending some serious cash to make pickleball a big thing, it doesn’t seem like organic hype.
