Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport and it's also popular with older athletes. All Things Considered went to the Florida Senior Games to find out why.

The article from KGOU discusses the rising popularity of pickleball at the Florida Senior Games, highlighting why it has become the "crown jewel" of the event. Pickleball, a sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, has seen a surge in interest among seniors due to its accessibility, social nature, and lower physical demands compared to other sports. The Florida Senior Games, which attract thousands of athletes aged 50 and above, have noted an increase in pickleball participation, with the sport offering various skill levels and age brackets to accommodate all players. The article explains that pickleball's appeal lies in its ability to foster community, provide competitive yet friendly matches, and its suitability for older adults looking to stay active. Additionally, the sport's growth is supported by the development of dedicated facilities and the inclusion of pickleball in senior living communities, making it a focal point of the games and a symbol of active aging.
