December 11, 2015 Club

Pickleball at SGS - 15 — Joel Reiss of Somerset Run prepares to serve during pickleball play Dec. 10 at Sampson G. Smith School.

Take some elements of tennis, throw in a little essence of badminton and combine with a soupçon of ping-pong, and what do you get?

Pickleball, of course.

The sport, invented in 1965 by a U.S. Congressman from Washington State and a friend to give their bored families something new to do, is all the rage in adult communities, mainly in the west and in Florida. According to the USA Pickleball Association, there are about 2.5 million people who play the game around the world.
