[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in MD, but does Centreville skew older age-wise? Seems like Lifetime is making the changes only there, and the other locations will still have the kids camps and the like. Maybe it says more about Centreville than Lifetime Fitness in general.

My gut tells me pickleball is a fad. Just like tennis was in the 80s (does anyone walk around in tennis outfits any more, headband and all? look at how they dressed on Three's Company), and aerobics (Jane Fonda style), and shuffleboard, and bocce ball.[/quote]

I'm the same way too but I compare it more to racquetball, which I remember being real popular a while back.  And there's a couple of places that I've seen with racquetball courts that look like they're hardly ever used for actual racquetball.

But I've also been wrong about trends and fads in the past and it looks like there is more support for pickleball.  So can be wrong about it.[/quote]

More people will get hurt if they aren't playing on the right surface for their sport.[/quote]
