Pickleball is a racquet/paddle sport that has risen from its humble beginnings in Bainbridge, Washington in 1965 to becoming a veritable tsunami sport of passion and play and community building, particularly among Third Age folks. Today there are numerous championships, both national and international, as well as an enormous groundswell of pickleball courts and participants of all levels and ages across the United States and beyond.
Peter Popovich is an avid pickleball, racquetball, and badminton player with the National Senior Games, having won gold medals in each sport. He is also an Ambassador for the Senior Games, advocating and spreading the good word about this wonderful organization. He's on the show this week to share some of his experiences with pickleball, especially with respect to how socially engaging and community oriented this sport is. Please join us!
