[quote=Anonymous]Basketball courts in gyms have always been more about having the option/amenity to put in brochures and attract sign ups to give you option to occasionally burn off steam shooting a few hoops, rather than making money off the actual regular basketball players (there’s like 20-25 and they tend to be heavy users and often part of family memberships ie kids). I’m guessing the pandemic resulted in lots of casual members buying Pelotons and Tonals and staying at home, so pickle ball is a way to get a new demographic to sign up - you can’t play pickle ball at home. Makes business sense…leagues, lessons, etc. Until the fad dies out for the next fad. But I think gyms overall are hurting so might as do what works now. [/quote]
