'It's proven that you can play it from age eight all the way to 88, and that's part of the allure to it. When it first started to grow it was senior citizens for a better terminology, now you got young people playing, and it's fun to go out there as a 63-year-old and play competitively with the 22-year-old. I can't do that in many sports,' said Todd Hensley.
Hensley said that if you are interested in picking up or even just learning about the sport, to go to the Siouxland Pickleball Association's website.
