Pop. The sound and disruption from pickleball, America’s fastest-growing sport, is driving some neighbors, tennis players, parents of young children, and others crazy. Homeowners groups and local residents in dozens of towns and cities have rallied to limit pickleball play and block the development of new courts. They are circulating petitions, filing lawsuits, and speaking out at council and town hall meetings to slow the audible spread of pickleball frenzy across the country.
the governing body for US tennis, has put out guidance with best practices to ensure the two sports can co-exist and keep up with demand for each. “In an ideal world, tennis and pickleball have their own spaces,” said Craig Morris, the USTA’s chief executive of community tennis. And some parents are pushing back because their kids have less space to play in the park as crowds of pickleball players grow.
I had never even heard of it. Could someone post audio of the sound it makes?
Get out of the kitchen!
Thousands of old people are going to the ER because they haven't done anything in over a decade.
People getting out and engaging with each other while exercising and getting fresh air. We’ve got to put an end to it and get them back indoors on their phones reading CNN on Twitter.
It’s called a pet peeve. Maybe the stress of society has brought out this mental issue. Letting little things like chewing gum loudly get under your skin. If you don’t dwell on this impairment overtime you won’t let it obsess your life.
Seriously? This is what you choose to report on! Wow!
It’s not even mid-March. If you live where it’s mild enough for people to be playing pickle ball outside & you can hear it because you can have your windows open, you should consider moving north-where it’s too cold to have windows open & courts have snow on them. quieter
Cry more
I am the Ichiro of pickle ball
Everywhere else in the world is Padel, but US do pickleball; as well as happened with Futbol (soccer) US sooner or later will turn to padel
Cry more libs
It can't possibly be as annoying as grunting tennis players or squeaky shoes on a basketball court.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. See what I did there?
Ideal para envejecientes o personas con alguna incapacidad.
People need to get over it
Do we really need to complain about everything? I don't know what the people in Ukraine are complaining about. Someone invaded your country? So what. Did you hear that racket down at the park? Someone at cnn should do a 'news' story about it.
Is it really America's fastest growing sport, or did we all just watch Shrinking and decide it must be true?
Democrats are complaining about this while they have no problems with the high crimes on cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, LA, New Orleans, etc.
They about dates hack stalk hunt run off men
Pickle ball patent owners working overtime today.
Obnoxious ball to paddle sound. If you live near one, you will hate it.
Noise, we make it & we hate it. Crazy 😝 noise from a game like Pickle ball needs a urgent redesign of that noisy ball 🙏😎🤗
Good to see CNN is covering the important stories. This is the headline running right now. Nothing happening in the world today I guess
The real reason it's so noisy is almost an afterthought in the article. Needs a rewrite.
This is the lead today? We are on the cusp of a banking crisis, good lord 🤦♂️
It's like when snowboarding took over ski slopes...time to change!
It’s the fast growing sport all over the world..
Only boring people don't love it
It’s the old skis vs snowboards debate replayed
at this time of the year ,?
Oh shame 😢
