    1. As a guy who has played a lot of pickup basketball, I agree. Doesn’t seem right. But so many more people are playing pickleball than basketball these days it only makes sense from a business standpoint.

  1. As an avid tennis player, I would love to see some indoor pickleball facilities built in our city. The picklers are taking over our tennis racquet clubs. It’s hard to get court time. Even at 6am!!

    1. Life Time near Castleton now has six dedicated courts. If that’s a good location for you it would be worth considering a membership because there will be ample opportunities to play.
