It's a combination of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. It's also named after a dog. There are about sixty players in the Quad Cities.
The sport is played with paddles, wiffle balls, and a three foot high net in an area similar to a badminton doubles court. What is it called? Pickleball.
The game was invented in 1965 in the state of Washington. It is named after a congressman's dog who shagged stray shots. The dog's name was Pickles.
Several senior citizens play weekly in the Quad Cities. Patty Macbeth Goetsch is seventy five years old. She loves the sport, saying it requires good balance and reaction.
Bev McCarty is seventy. She plays frequently.
Ken Meyer is seventy two. He thinks the sport is a great way to meet people while getting a two hour workout.
Pickleball is a big hit in retirement communities and also in schools. The sport is played all across the United States.
