Erin explains the game’s history, its quirky rules, and an easy way to handle the tricky scoring system. She suggests ways to get involved in games, where to find courts, the right equipment needed, and the clothes to wear. Erin, a “missionary for the sport,” assures listeners a tennis background isn’t necessary, it’s never too late to take up the game, and pickleball is an ageless sport.
