Pickle Ball is the New Snowboarding

[saratogahalfday]

How come ya never hear any good tennis stories & even fewer pickle ball stories...?
At least dang snowboarding has some good stories.

I have many tennis stories, but only a tennis player would appreciate them

As for the pickleball craze, that's a game, not a sport. If you want a workout, play a 3-set tennis match in the middle of summer.

Agreed. Heck when I was in my teens and twenties we'd play some high level ping pong and work up a sweat... In a cool basement!
