TRUST ME! Do a search on FB for groups in your area. You'll find more than a few. Get proper tennis court shoes, a paddle (don't over-spend; 50$ or under for your first one), and that's that.

PICKLEBALL. I've lived in my town for 13 years. Only talked to a few neighbors. Discovered Pickleball last summer, and everything changed. I've made scores of friends, not only in my town, but from towns all over north NJ. No prior experience necessary, AND it's great cardio.

It's the fastest growing sport in the US for many reasons. One of the main reasons is, I can have the same amount of fun and cardio playing with my 7 year old kid, as I would with a 77 year old, and every age in between.

Stranger to stranger, TRUST ME. Pickleball is the answer to many of problems facing this country.
