As the sport continues to grow, more and more young people are joining the ranks of players, from beginners to Pros. In fact over 1 million kids under 18 joined the sport in recent years.
Teens and young adults ages 13–24 now have the highest participation rates of any age segment, challenging the perception that pickleball is primarily a sport for older Americans.
Anna Leigh Waters is widely recognized as the youngest professional pickleball player in history who turned Pro at age 12. Already, a select group of smaller private, faith-based, and regional universities provide recruitment or scholarship opportunities for competitive players. The sport's continued growth offers much more than just a fun pastime for those interested in competitive level of play.
For those, who just want to spend some time in fun environment, run a little, play a little, Club Piklbal is a great option this winter.
