Pickleball seems to be the latest craze taking over the world of sports and not just for adults, but for kids too! Many schools have added this sport to their physical education program and converted some tennis courts to pickleball courts. Pickleball is an excellent sport and great game that offers several benefits to both kids and families. So, let's take a look at some of the top pickleball benefits.

Pickleball is a low-impact sport that puts less strain on the joints and muscles compared to other high-intensity sports such as basketball, soccer and football. It's a great sport for kids who are still growing. Pickleball is a great way for families, especially kids to stay active, away from screen time, improve their coordination, balance, and agility without putting too much stress on their bodies.

If you’re a social butterfly or trying to get out and socialize more, pickleball is what you need! It is a great social activity that can be played with family and friends.  Pickleball does not require a lot of equipment or specialized training. It is fairly easy to learn and can be played by anyone, regardless of their skill level. It's a great way to spend quality time with your friends and family while staying active. It’s also a great way to meet other families with children and have a family playdates! It's also a great way be a part of a community that shares the same passion for the sport.

Not only is this a low-impact sport that includes socializing, it’s also a great way to stay active and healthy. The game requires a lot of cardio movements which will help you build strength and stamina. It's a great way to stay active and get in shape without even realizing it.

Pickleball can be played both indoors and outdoors, making it a great sport to play all year round.  The weather won't stop you from socializing and improving your game!

If you have a child who is not a natural athlete or shy from learning learn a new sport, pickleball is the sport for them! It is an easy sport to learn and the culture focuses on inclusivity, having fun and making friends. What I like most about this sport is that a child can play with friends, parents and grandparents. It's a great bonding time too! 

Pickleball is such a wonderful family sport.  The best part is that it does not cost a lot and you can play year round regardless of the weather. So the next time when your kids or parents says that they are bored, invite them out for a game of Pickleball! Go have some fun and work out at the same time!
