This morning they offered an invitation to meet them at the pickle ball/tennis courts. A Pickleball court is actually smaller than a tennis court, but using the same net. The playing area is smaller than a tennis court.
Are you familiar with Pickleball? Senior citizens often play this. The paddle/racket is wooden, shaped like a paddle ball or racket ball racket/or a large ping pong paddle. The ball is shaped/formed like a Wiffle ball, but a harder plastic.
The object is to hit the ball back and forth over the net, hoping the other team/opposition will miss or hit it out of bounds---just like ping pong or tennis. Winning score is the first to eleven.
Keeping score is the most complicated. We let Jeff and Marcella take care of that.
The game can be played as singles, or doubles--like tennis.
My observations:
- make scoring more simple! LOL 😎
- find a child/young person to retrieve the missed balls! Jeff says grandchildren won't work!
- bifocal or tri-focal glasses make it difficult to judge depth perception
