[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How come old people can never share? They trashed our economy, trashed our planet, voted for Trump and now they can't share a gym with kids?[/quote]

The whole vibe is classic Boomer. Totally selfish me me me.[/quote]

And they will be the first one to harp about kids sitting home on screens. Well, I guess they can't go play basketball or rock climb. [/quote]

Kids CAN and do play pickleball.  It's a very social game, and it doesn't matter how old you are.  A 9 yr old who knows how to play can play pickleball with a 67 yr old.  That's not going to happen with basketball.  Pickleball is a great equalizer.  It's good for all ages and can be played at a fast, medium, or slow pace.  It is more sensitive to outside weather factors, so it is really better to play inside.  Plus, if you haven't realized, pickleball is growing like crazy and apparently it's much more popular with people who pay for gym memberships than basketball.  I would agree based on my own interests.

I have yet to play on a "true" pickleball court (been playing pball for 1 yr.).  I can only imagine it being a DREAM to have only the correct lines on the court.  Where I play now has about 6 different colored lines (it's mainly a basketball gym).  It's annoying.  People WILL pay for a gym that has true dedicated pickleball courts.

It's not about being "Boomer."  You have to face facts -- if you want rock walls and bball courts --- YOU are the one living in the past.  The future is pickleball -- for all![/quote]
