If you haven't heard of pickleball yet you will only have to come out to the tennis courts next to the Ice Rink in Oakland Mills Village Center on a Saturday or Tuesday morning to see 25-40 players playing pickleball. It is similar to tennis but on a smaller court and using a paddle and a wiffle like ball. Another difference from tennis is how social playing pickleball is. Unlike tennis most pickleball players are in a group of many other players instead of just a few tennis players. Waiting for a court to open up gives players plenty of time to socialize and make new friends.
Popular in many retirement communities but played by persons of all ages. Here in Howard County the Howard County Pickleball Association now has over 150 members in just its first year of existence. Joining this Association is the best way to learn about the sport and where it is being played in Howard County. The Howard County Recreation and Parks Department held the first Countywide pickleball tournament at the Meadowbrook facility earlier this year with 104 participants.
