Pickleball expands its reach

By Hannah Sutherland - Peace Arch News 
Not only has pickleball grown amongst Peninsula seniors as a healthful and entertaining activity, it has also caught the attention of families looking for a sport all ages can enjoy.

 
That's according to Chuck Lefaive, president of the local pickleball association, who said many of the 800 people who play at South Surrey Recreation Centre are families.
In fact, Saturday afternoon pickleball at the centre is dedicated to children, while almost four hours of Sunday play is open to everyone.
 
Lefaive said it's uncommon to see families play other sports together, such as soccer, baseball or hockey.
 
"But you do see them play pickleball, and that's where it started – it started as a backyard family sport."
