I started playing pickleball four years ago, and it has kept me both physically active and mentally challenged. This fueled my desire to compete with more skilled players, learning different spins and lobs. As a mom of seven, I enjoy playing pickleball with my children, proving that it's a sport for all ages. Pickleball has become a wonderful way for us to stay active and have fun together.
