Why Pickleball?
Pickleball has quickly become one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States. It combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, making it approachable for people of all ages and fitness levels. The smaller court size keeps the pace lively while reducing the strain of constant running, which is one reason why so many people are drawn to it.
But pickleball is more than just a game — it’s a community builder. On the court, neighbors meet, friendships form, and laughter flows just as much as the ball. It’s a sport where beginners and experienced players can enjoy the same game side by side, creating connections that extend well beyond the gym.
Get Involved
If you’re looking for a fun way to stay active, meet new people, and try something new, pickleball at the Old Main Building Gym is the place to be.
