Delaware’s Pickleball Courts: Pickleball is rising in Delaware, with new indoor and outdoor courts opening across the state to meet the growing demand. From local parks to private clubs, players of all ages can now find places to enjoy the sport year-round. Many locations are now open, with more coming soon.
Ron Pinsky, who has coached racket sports for almost 40 years, believes pickleball is growing fast because it’s simple and fun. Ron Pinsky is the director of pickleball at Dill Dinkers, a new indoor facility in Newport. “It’s way easier to learn than any other racket sport,” said Ron Pinsky. “With pickleball, you just see smiles and people laughing and high-fiving. It’s more fun, it’s a lot quicker and it’s very social. It’s also a great workout.”
