Pickleball
Coming to York in the spring of 2015!
What is the fastest growing sport in the country
right now? You guessed it… PICKLEBALL! Pickleball
is a racquet sport in which two or four players
use solid paddles made of wood or composite
materials to hit a perforated polymer ball
over a net. The sport shares features of other
racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of
a Badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis,
with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid-1960s
as a children’s backyard pastime but has quickly become popular
among adults as a fun game for players of all skill levels. Currently,
the sport of pickleball is exploding in popularity. The number
of places to play has nearly doubled since 2010. There are now
well over 2,000 locations on the USAPA’s Places to Play map. The
spread of the sport is attributed to its popularity within community
centers, PE classes, YMCA facilities and retirement communities.
The sport continues to grow worldwide as well with many new
international clubs forming and national governing bodies now
established in Canada and India. We are excited to bring Pickleball
to York. Be on the look-out this spring and summer for detailed
information about informational evenings, instruction, and more.
This program provides efficient, controlled access to the real time
court schedulers with a complete computerized log of all court, school,
and town activity. Players can see the court schedule visually, and
then, a simple point-and-click and the booking is made. Online viewing
makes it so much easier to coordinate a convenient time with your
playing partner(s) – no more playing phone tag with everyone. Making
it easier for you to book, means you get to play more tennis!
