Finally pickleball is good for something.

I love pickleball.

Let us use this opportunity to eliminate cheerleading altogether in his honor

Imagining he slammed is head on some very hard or sharp object near the court? It’s pretty difficult to do that much damage on a typical flat court surface falling.

It might not have taken much. I hear the Kirk boys are prone to head injuries

The hell is pickleball

Apparently something like tennis, but on a badminton court.

invented in 1965 as a children's backyard game

A lower net. Plays a more like tiny tennis.

Been getting more and more popular over the decade, and it’s pretty huge in the states these days. If you’re in a major US metro, you know someone who plays it.

Old people tennis. I feel like the trend was going younger last year, but now I feel it's only for middle age people and older.

Kiddy tennis for unfit old people

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

Ehh it's not the most fun game but it's good for anyone of any fitness level looking for exercise. We used to play it during winter in college and I was fit as fuck back then.

It's great for older people because there's way less joint stress and injury is, despite this article, pretty rare
