Pickleball Gifts for Pickleball Lovers!

Question: Why pickleball gifts?

Answer: The new exercise craze (actually not so new) is pickleball, especially amongst older adults. Pickleball provides great social opportunities and is also much easier on the joints than tennis.

So what exactly is pickleball? In a nutshell, pickleball is a fun sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. You can play indoors or out, singles or doubles, on a badminton court using a modified tennis net. The only equipment needed is a paddle and a plastic ball with holes. The rules are simple, which makes it easy for beginners to learn. That said, experienced pickleballers play fast-paced and competitive games. The best part? Pickleball is great fun for all ages!

We love the affordability of pickleball. For someone wanting to pick up a new exercise, this sport provides an inexpensive way to do so. Of course, as you get more competitive, you might want to invest in a more expensive paddle, but it is not at all necessary for beginners.

Pickleball is great exercise for both the mind and body. Without unnecessarily straining your body, this sport provides opportunities to improve your balance, agility, reflexes and hand-eye coordination.

The one downside of pickleball is the noise factor. Lately, pickleball has become a controversial sport for residents who live near a court. The hard plastic ball is loud and repetitive. With more courts built all the time, hopefully future locations will not be too close to quiet neighborhoods. Also, manufacturers are starting to make balls that are less noisy.
