If I ever decide to play, it will not be doubles. I watched four guys in their 40's standing on the first line beyond the net (you cannot go into the kitchen for the most part) hitting the ball back and forth for around 30+ seconds waiting for someone to hit it too high or into the net. At least in singles you get to run some to get to shots off to your sides. Edited February 11, 2017 by Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, Liahona said: I heard this is similar to tennis...what's the difference?... </off topic> Think of Pickleball as tennis, but on a smaller sized court, and with a harder ball, and a smaller, but much harder, paddle type hand racket . I fell in love with the game about 7 years ago. It is the fastest growing sport in the US at the moment. It is huge in Florida with physically fit, active Adults. I play in a foursome . Started in Beginner league ( depicted above ) then Intermediate league, now I'm up to the Skilled league competition level ( one level below, traveling team, Pro level ). I lost 35 pounds playing the intense, quick reflexes needed, sport in no time at all when I first took it up. I've introduced friends to the sport over the last few years, and to a one, they all love it, and now play it.

xandandl Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Awfully quiet on this thread compared to earlier Boston discussion this month .Perhaps they are busy still watching the Simpsons episode tonight with the special Boston feature .

BRASSO Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 So to summarize this week with the Boston Crusaders; and to alleviate any rumors regarding 2017 : 1) No, The Corps did not win The Powerball this Fall. 2) No. the Corps will not be doing a Pickleball theme.
