Free introduction to pickleball being offered
By Jen Jones
Pickleball is becoming one of the fastest growing sports in the United States . On Sunday , Aug . 22 from 4-6 p . m ., anyone interested in learning more about the sport is invited to Hall Park .
Cathie Akins , the USA Pickleball ambassador for Coshocton County , said when she retired five years ago , she drove to Dover to play pickleball . She approached Kids America about having people play there , and the sport took off in Coshocton County .
“ There are anywhere from six to 40 people playing every day . Small groups just get together and have fun ,” Akins said .
Players are traveling from Zanesville , Mount Vernon and Millersburg to play .
Akins said pickleball is played with a paddle and a ball similar to a Wiffle ball on a scaled-down tennis court . “ If you can play badminton , ping pong or tennis , you can pick up pickleball easily ,” she said .
The city installed pickleball courts : three at Hall Park and three at Kids
