Going on vacation? Make sure you pack your pickleball paddle. You can pick up a game in just about every city in the whole country. Just google pickleball places to play or go to usapa.org/places-to-play-pickleball and it will show you where you can join a group in the area you are visiting or vacationing. Sometimes it will be inside a facility like a gym or outside on tennis courts that have been designated for pickleball. Most places will have paddles and balls if you want to try the sport to see how fun it can be. Many retirees who thought their competitive sport days are over are enjoying the game into their 90s. They even have pickleball cruises where you play with your fellow passengers.
