We had the privilege of shooting the 2026 Loma Linda Pickleball Classic in SoCal last weekend and I think I might have, surprisingly-to-me, fallen in love.
Pickleball has this unique way of collapsing generations. I saw a tween competing with her dad, high schoolers sharing courts with retirees, and those in their eighties and nineties still lacing up the shoes. While it has a lot of the intense competitive moments you anticipate with sports, the thing that stood out to me the most was the communal nature of it.
If you’ve been on the fence to try it out, here’s your cue to head down to your local mom and pop Costco, grab a pair of rackets, and force someone to go and try it out with you.
