In all the excitement of the Pickleball craze, it is important to remember that the court is typically made of asphalt which does cause court injuries. This is why I gave up hard court tennis at age 57 and built a Har-Tru (artificial clay) court at my home and founded the Genesee Volley Tennis Club in 2008. Soft courts are much easier on the feet and legs, which is especially important for older players! Contact me if you are interested in trying out our court for tennis!
Pickleball is a hot trend and it's getting folks exercising who haven't been so active in a long time. It's also racking up injuries -- both overuse type and acute traumas -- often in those aged 50 and up.
