My Latest Obsession: Pickleball

Why is Pickleball All the Rage?

In December 2023, I decided to take a pickleball 101 clinic to find out why everyone was so obsessed with this sport. That 101 clinic, became a 102 clinic, which became advanced beginners open play. Now I play no less than 2-3 times per week in intermediate groups and I’m tempted to try high intermediate. I outline all the details in this article I wrote for Restless Urban.

In a nutshell, here’s why pickleball is my new obsession:

➡️Your only goal: hit the ball. It’s a great stress-reliever and distraction from reality.

➡️You’ll sweat your ass off. It’s an incredible workout.

➡️You will meet awesome people. The pickleball community is strong and wonderful.

➡️You’ll challenge yourself in new ways. I never realized how strategic pickleball is.

So who’s ready to try pickleball (or who needs a partner)? If you’re local, you can always find me at Bergen Pickleball Zone. 😉
