To all SBU students, Alum, the parents bringing students to Banas and everybody, you are invited to play in here with us.
Our current schedule is Monday Wednesday Friday 8:30am to 11:00am. at the Olean Middle School Tennis court off of 1st Street. Tuesday & Thursday at the YMCA same time. ($5 Y fee)
We anticipate that SBU will modify the far south end of the outdoor Tennis court to accommodate two Pickleball courts.
Please bring your paddle. Skill level is Rec players to 3.5 level tournament players.
If you have questions, send me a Message.

Two top sports for students:
CORN———— .and Beer Pong. Don’t think pickle ball is on the list esp. if it costs $ 5.

It's one thing for old, retired folks to play pickleball but if college kids start playing it then our country really is going to hell. Which means it'll probably soon be an olympic "sport."

Easy townie. Pickle is a lot of fun and pretty intense for tourney level players. Whether or not you can handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. But watch out for dinks!

From the Kiplinger Letter, a well respected Business reporting service
Move over, tennis and golf. Pickleball is becoming the hottest new amenity
at luxury real estate developments. Developers in the U.S., Mexico
and the Caribbean can’t build courts fast enough. Home buyers and vacationers
are increasingly attracted to the paddle sport…a combination of tennis, pingpong
and badminton…even over golf. Courts, roughly one-third the size of tennis courts,
are also gaining traction with homeowners’ associations and local municipalities.
The sport, with its simple rules, has seen incredible growth in recent years.
It has 5 million participants in the U.S. of all ages, playing competitively and for fun.

Which means it'll probably soon be an olympic "sport." hey... atleast they are outside doing something instead of locked in with headphones playing video games. LOL. Don’t knock video games. They were a large part of my youth. What is different now is that kids don’t have to leave the house to play a game with a friend. I remember getting on my bike and going all over the city to beat various friends in games. Whether it was East, West, South or North Olean…my motto was basically Temple and willing to whoop you anywhere/anytime. Now these kids sit in their specialty chairs and vape while gaming. As for pickle ball, it’s an old timer activity. Don’t break a hip out there moving 2 steps left or right. |
