The Ageless Appeal of Pickleball: How Players of All Ages Are Embracing the Sport

Pickleball, the sport that’s taking the world by storm, is not just for the young and agile. As proven by 95-year-old Lois White from Kansas, age is truly just a number in the world of pickleball. White’s dedication, skill, and competitive spirit have earned her respect and admiration from the pickleball community, despite regularly competing against much younger opponents.

White’s journey into pickleball began later in life, but once she discovered the game, she was hooked. The combination of strategy, skill, and social interaction perfectly suited her lifestyle and competitive nature. And she’s not the only one who has taken up the sport at a later age – even tennis legends like John McEnroe and Andre Agassi have been drawn to the game.

McEnroe, reflecting on his experience playing pickleball, noted that as we age, we cover less of the court, making the smaller pickleball court a more suitable option. Meanwhile, Agassi was introduced to the sport by his friend Andy Roddick, leading to daily analysis and breakdowns of their games.
