Why Everyone Seems to Be Picking Up PickleballNot long ago, pickleball was something you might stumble across at a community center. The rules are simple, the court is smaller than a tennis court, and most beginners can score points within just a few minutes. Courts Are Popping Up EverywhereCities across the Midwest have taken notice of the growing demand. Parks departments have added new pickleball courts, converted old tennis courts, and expanded recreation programs to accommodate the sport's rapid growth. According to Pickleheads, there are at least 17 Pickleball courts in Sioux Falls, some are free to use and others require a membership.
