Why Pickleball Courts are Great Social Distancing

With a few of the recent events we have been experiencing, it is likely that you could use some more ideas for safe, social distancing activities. These activities can go a long way toward helping you stay healthy and improving your emotional state. Most epidemiologists have argued that staying at least 6 feet away from individuals outside of your home can help to slow the spread of coronavirus. This can make it very difficult to obtain the substantial amount of social interaction that is necessary to remain happy and healthy. To meet the needs of this unprecedented time, you may want to consider a pickleball court for your property. Here are just a few of the reasons why pickleball courts are great social distancing.

Stay Healthy

It is more important than ever to make an extra effort to protect your health. In fact, the CDC has recommended that individuals get between 30 to 60 minutes of exercise every day. This helps people to cope with the stress of this uncertain time, as well as take better care of their body. With regular exercise, you help your body to stay strong and healthy during this turbulent time. Pickleball courts serve as places where you can get the recommended amount of exercise without necessarily putting yourself at risk. They are also extremely convenient and fun ways to obtain the appropriate levels of exercise.

Get Fresh Air

It is important to get fresh air periodically, even during periods of quarantine. Staying cooped up inside a single building is certain to make anyone go stir crazy over time. If you have a pickleball court in your own backyard, you are able to get fresh air simply by going outside and playing pickleball. These courts help to ensure that you can obtain a break from the walls of your building, without necessarily going into a public place.

Socialize While Distancing!

Caution is important during this largely unprecedented period of time. The majority of experts continue to recommend that you stay a minimum of 6 feet away from those that don’t reside in the same home as you. This has quickly become called “social distancing.” Pickleball courts allow you to both see and spend valuable bonding time with your friends and loved ones, without necessarily putting yourself or these same loved ones at risk. These large courts allow you to play pickleball while still staying 6 feet away from those that you don’t live with. In addition, when you have a pickleball court on your property, you won’t have to concern yourself with who else may have played on a public court previously.

Easy to Learn

So, what if you never had the opportunity to learn how to play pickleball prior to the arrival of coronavirus? Many businesses, groups, and other activities are still closed, so you may find it difficult to find an instructor. Fortunately, pickleball is a sport that is relatively easy to learn. This allows it to be played by people of all ages and all skill levels. You don’t need to add extra stress to your life by trying to learn to play a sport that is rather complicated. Learning how to play pickleball, alternatively, can help to relieve the pent up stress and allow you to obtain valuable exercise during this turbulent time.  

Minimal Equipment

Pickleball requires fairly minimal equipment and most of it you won’t even have to interact with. Assuming that you have a pickleball court on your property, you really only need the paddles and the ball. When you are playing pickleball on your court, you will really only have to be required to touch your own individual paddle. This paddle won’t be touched by the other people that you are playing with. This prevents contamination and many additional issues. With other sports, you are often required to come into closer contact with other players or to use the same equipment that each person has touched. Pickleball courts help to provide exceptional social distancing opportunities due to this.  

Benefits of Pickleball Courts

There are a multitude of benefits to obtaining a pickleball court for your property. For one thing, a pickleball court is likely to lead to a more active lifestyle. It is easier to get out and exercise when it doesn’t take a substantial amount of travel in order to do so. Pickleball courts are also extremely convenient. You don’t have to make a trip to the park in order to play pickleball with your friends. In addition, it prevents having to return home in the event that you forget something you need to play. Adding a pickleball court to your property goes a long way toward improving the overall value of your home and property. This helps to provide a rather high return on investment for the installation process.

Pickleball courts provide an opportunity for bonding time with your friends and family members. This is especially important during this time of a growing need for social distancing. You are still able to spend time with your loved ones while remaining a safe distance away from them. Regularly playing pickleball together helps to provide shared experiences and interests with the people that you care about. These are just a few of the many benefits that come along with having a pickleball court installed in your backyard.
