Agreed. I don't like it, but from the video it appears that the pickleball players were following the rules and got their permit. Too bad the tennis players didn't have their paperwork in order.Pickleball players are right in this case.
if they changed wimbledon to pickelball, would you watch it ?
looks like more clickbaity content.
Why not ? pickel can be played on Grass or even Red clayPickle cannot be played on grass
No, it's can't. The ball doesn't bounce on clay or grass.Why not ? pickel can be played on Grass or even Red clay
Red clay of rollan garros, its even better.Pickle ball is definitely being played on clay. It has taken over Saturday afternoons at my club’s Har Tru courts. The interesting thing is that picklers seem to be much more tolerant of worse playing conditions (weather and courts).
This is all very simple. Only tennis on tennis courts, only pickleball on pickleball courts, only soccer on soccer fields. Pisses me off anyone thinks otherwise, screw offAgreed. I don't like it, but from the video it appears that the pickleball players were following the rules and got their permit. Too bad the tennis players didn't have their paperwork in order.
Also turns one into a basic b!tch.Intuitive Tennis guy said the short swings of Pickleball and its different timing will have negative effects on your tennis
Everything about pickleball is bad, LOL. Its a poison sportAlso turns one into a basic b!tch.
LMAO!!!!!! ExactlyI ain’t going to across the board hate on pickleballers, but that video was pretty lame. I wish they would have set up a net at the popular basketball courts while pickup games were trying to be played.
After watching the video, I despise the dickle crowd even more. They wouldn't dare pull this pathetic stunt on a basketball court, over an outdated permit, or for any other reason. They'd get the stuffings paddled out of them.Pickleball players are right in this case.
I was at the park tennis courts closest to my house a few years ago. A 50+ year old man and his 20-something year old son had set up a soccer goal in the tennis court and were playing soccer. This place has 3 tennis courts and each court is separated by fences (so each court is "individual"). The net was broken in the middle court. These guys were on one of the end courts so I took the court on the other end.
FYI, there's a full soccer field with nets just outside of the tennis courts.
Half hour later a family comes to play doubles. They ask these guys if they would take the middle court with the broken net to play soccer. These guys refused. My partner and I ask them to move as well, telling them that they shouldn't even be playing soccer on the courts in the first place. There's the normal posturing and threats you'd expect in this situation. Then one of the guys says "show me a sign or anything that says I can't play soccer on this court". He was right. No sign. So I told him I'd have one made.
Next day I called the Park Commissioner. Explained what had happened and especially told him about the broken net (which was almost certainly broken by soccer players or skateboarders). That's when he became interested. He doesn't like spending his budget on "vandalized" equipment. I told him to make signs that say "TENNIS USE ONLY". They were in place by the end of the week (and are still there).
Does this sign stop people from playing soccer (or pickleball) on the tennis courts? No, it doesn't. The courts are still just seen as "for public recreation". So the "tennis only" rule can't really be enforced. The only time the rule is enforced is if something is "vandalized" (net gets broken for example). Then the Park Commissioner gets involved. But he's mostly watching out for skateboarders or just general teenage vandalism.
Theres a park near me unmonitored by authorities that the 4 tennis courts do have tennis only signs but large pickleball groups always play anyway, how does a sign help if they don't care? LolJust allocate some tax money towards building more pickle courts, and then put signs up on tennis courts stating “tennis only”. When this Dickle thing came about, they didn’t have their own courts so they piggybacked on the fact that it’s a racquet sport but now like cockroaches their population has increased exponentially and it’s a serious problem.

You would care if you were meeting up your friend for some tennis and your court was infested with Dicklers. That is the gist of this thread.Theres a park near me unmonitored by authorities that the 4 tennis courts do have tennis only signs but large pickleball groups always play anyway, how does a sign help if they don't care?

I haven't tried to do anything about it just cause usually there are courts available not much of a ptoblem for me but if they werent yikes
Of course I care pickleballers are super ridiculous you didn't understand. What do you do anyway if they don't care and ignore tennis only on unmonitored public courts?You would care if you were meeting up your friend for some tennis and your court was infested with Dicklers.

Throw water balloons at them.Of course I care pickleballers are super ridiculous you didn't understand. What do you do anyway if they don't care and ignore tennis only on unmonitored public courts?
LmaoThrow water balloons at them.
This made me imagine having a ski mask on like a criminal so they can't see my face and by myself throwing water balloons on their large group as I say "tennis only!!" until someone chases me and I run away. HahahThrow water balloons at them.
I know a doctor who sits around eating chips and playing video games.Met a pulmonary doctor at a meetup yesterday and he said he has gotten into Pickleball
Nothing wrong with that.I know a doctor who sits around eating chips and playing video games.
I don't understand, a tennis club built their own courts yet needs a temporary permit to use them? This whole situation makes no sense to meI found a better video that covers the event from the OP. Tennis club now has a temporary permit to use the courts.
I believe in this case, the City of San Diego originally built these courts on public land. At a later date, the city decided to grant "Special Use Permits (SUP)" for these courts, which allows another organization to maintain the tennis courts without the city having to spending their public tax dollars to maintain them.I don't understand, a tennis club built their own courts yet needs a temporary permit to use them?
So the tennis club gets to pay to maintain the tennis courts only to have them robbed by pickleball players? Is that accurate?

I believe so. The pickleball group found out that the tennis center did not have a valid Special Use Permits (SUP), since it was expired, and they got one for these courts. From new reports I watched, the city has since "renewed/reinstated" the tennis center SUP for now.So the tennis club gets to pay to maintain the tennis courts only to have them robbed by pickleball players?

Like this?I'm waiting for pickballers to start setting up their nets at public park basketball courts.
Lol I think the crazy thing is that they'd give a permit to pickleball for the courts. How about a permit for soccer to use the courts? Also let the tennis center know its expired and ask them if they want to renew permits before giving to anyone else?!I believe so. The pickleball group found out that the tennis center did not have a valid Special Use Permits (SUP), since it was expired, and they got one for these courts.

That means you're a good personI gotta side with the tennis people here.
Of course if the tennis players started whacking the pickle ballers with their racquets I'd still side with the tennis people.
imagine folks setting up soccer/pickleball at someplace like this: https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/west-4th-street-courts
"You lose even if you win" is the motto of pickleball. It's a glorified cruise ship activity like shuffleboard or bad dinner theater, not a sport. I'm not gonna say that it's a fad and will go away, as I think it'll retain a place among a certain crowd as a recreational activity. But ultimately, the lack of exercise and reduced skill set is why it won't ever surpass tennis.Yeah but it looks like a kids tennis camp was ongoing.
Even if I had the paperwork I would have tried to find another pball or tennis court. Not the best of battles to fight. You lose even if you win.
