We are embracing a sport that is taking away from tennis participation. Syphoning players away.
Pickleball’s entry into the mainstream tennis world reminds me of a Trojan Horse strategy.
All mini tennis games have the same strategy—don’t alarm traditional tennis. But before you know it your tennis courts are replaced with PB courts.
I would advise coaches who love tennis and are embracing PB to be careful.
It’s a myth that all these sports can rise together.
Maybe it works for the club owner’s bottom line—but that’s business.
For those of us who love traditional tennis, we should think twice before promoting a sport that will undermine tennis.
