Pickleball Coming to Margate

December 11, 2013 - www.margatenews.net

Pickleball is ideal for the over 50 set, he said, and is an exceptional workout for the athletically-inclined so long as players are matched by ability. And because Margate could offer the sport to residents for less than $1,000 investment, De Robertis said it's practical amidst a growing demand for the game.
