A Game Created by Seniors
For Seniors
While sharing the joy of Pickleball with eager pre-teen learners, a wise voice from an adjacent court caught my attention. "This game is for us, not for youngsters. Why are you encouraging them?" The stern tone projected the seriousness of the concern.
Understanding the Heart of the Game
This interjection was not just a casual remark; it underscored Pickleball's special significance for seniors. More than a mere pastime, it represents a sanctuary where companionship flourishes and life's tempo harmonizes with the gentle sound of paddles striking balls. For the elderly, recreational options that balance accessibility with physical gentleness are scarce, and Pickleball has been a perfect fit. With younger players entering the scene, there's a palpable fear amongst the elderly of being overshadowed, both in skill and vitality.
