Pickleball is not just for seniors anymore! Originally the game was ideal for seniors, a low-impact game that almost anyone from their 50s to their 80s could play easily and have fun. But now you see teens through 30 year olds competing at a very high level, and many becoming professional players in their teens and 20’s. And there are young pickleball Youtubers teaching techniques on how to play better and be more competitive. These players are fit and compete as hard as any professional athlete, and with investors buying pickleball teams for millions of dollars, pickleball has joined the big leagues of sports.

So what’s happening with seniors and pickleball? It’s booming! The seniors continue to play pickleball in their communities with their friends and neighbors, making each game a social experience combining friendly competitiveness with community closeness, because of pickleball, people are actually making friends in their HOA communities faster than ever before, and in fact, becoming a family. And pickleball has become even more social with Dink and Drink Events and Pickleball Happy Hour post games and much much more…. There’s no evidence that pickleball for any age is slowing down any time soon.

There are also community pickleball amateur leagues where not only seniors but also younger players compete with other local communities, extending social circles and friendships to other communities. Yes, the pickleball phenomenon continues to inspire those who play around the globe!

What is Body Bagging in Pickleball?

What is Body bagging in pickleball?  A pickleball tactic known as body bagging involves hitting an opponent in the body with a ball that has accelerated off the bounce. It's regarded as pickleball's most deceptive tactic. Some argue that body bagging is not suitable for every game and that open-court play should prohibit targeting an opponent above the shoulder. They also say that continued body-bagging can make pickleball less accessible to new players.

What is Stacking in Pickleball?

In pickleball, the term "Stacking" describes a doubles strategy in which both players on a team line up on the same side of the court before a serve or return, enabling them to switch to their preferred side following the initial hit quickly. This is typically done to maximize their strengths and play from their dominant side throughout the point; normally, this means that one player stays primarily on the left side and the other on the right, regardless of who is serving or receiving.
