The Batavian Reports On New Indoor/Outdoor Sports Game That Was Recently Introduced In Batavia Called Pickleball
Batavia, New York, introduced a new game/sport called pickleball into the community. Pickleball is a combination of tennis, ping pong, and badminton and uses a net and a small tennis court.
As The Batavian writer Steve Ognibene relates in his article: "Locally, it all started after Batavia residents Phil and Bonnie Coburn decided to travel in an RV across the United States in 2007. They had often said “What will we do if we can’t play tennis anymore?" Well, very quickly they saw some pickleball being played, and they became hooked! Upon returning to Batavia, they located a group in Ogden and played there for a couple years. Then, after getting tired of driving 25 miles each way, they spoke to the people at the YMCA in Batavia in 2012, and they agreed to let them tape two courts in the gym."
