5 Reasons We’re Thankful for Pickleball

It’s that time of year! What are you most thankful for? 

On everyone’s lists are the essentials: family and friends, health, food and shelter. And you know what’s on every pickleballer’s list (turns out there’s something like 45 million of us who live in the United States and celebrate Thanksgiving): the best sport ever!

Here’s 5 reasons why we’re thankful that pickleball exists:

1. THE COMMUNITY - How many friends have you made through pickleball!? Playing this awesome game builds connections on the court that transfer to life off the court. We love the community we’ve built at Montclair Pickleball and we know that the strong bonds amongst our players (and beyond) will last long into the future.

2. YOU CAN PLAY FOR LIFE - Our players range in age from 7 to 97! Pickleball is super accessible for people of all ages and abilities. Generations that might otherwise not have much in common can play together and share in the fun on the courts. You’re never too young, too old, or not “athletic enough” to play.

3. THE HEALTH BENEFITS - It’s no secret that staying active and exercising regularly keeps you healthy in both body and mind. Good thing that pickleball is addictive and we want to play every chance we get!

4. YOU CAN FIND A GAME ALMOST ANYWHERE - We can count on one hand the number of sports that give you the ability to jump into a game or match at any time. No matter where you’re located, chances are that there’s a pickleball court near you and there are pickleball players who are happy to have you join in!

5. IT’S JUST FUN! And at Montclair Pickleball, we always have fun!
