New Pickleball Courts

At last! 
Leisure World Contractors have finished the new tennis courts and are finally starting work on converting two old tennis courts into Pickleball courts.
They've managed to squeeze in eight new Pickleball courts into the space that only two tennis courts previously occupied. This photo shows the first coats of acrylic paint being applied. The net will be centered in the red zone, the dark blue area is the actual playing court and yet to be painted are the aprons surrounding each court. White lines will further define the courts and playing areas. The fences keep the ball inside the court and the old folks from wandering in (or out) during a game.


Here are a couple Youtube links to watch.  The first explains the basic Pickleball rules, the second shows a men's game in progress and the third, a women's game.
