Get Set for Pickleball in 2026: Discover A Fun Way to Move, Connect, and Thrive

Pickleball Blogpost.jpg

Pickleball isn’t just a trend—it’s a game changing how people of all ages, especially older adults, stay active and connected. AARP Massachusetts is bringing beginner-friendly clinics to local courts, making it easy to join the movement.

Why pickleball? It’s one of America’s fastest-growing sports because it’s fun, low-impact, and easy to learn. Played on a smaller court with paddles and a perforated ball, it offers quick rallies, laughter, and less strain on joints—perfect for staying strong and flexible.

The benefits go beyond fitness. Pickleball sharpens the mind with fast-paced play and strategy, and it’s social by design. Doubles play means new friends, shared laughs, and a sense of community—key to overall well-being.

Ready to try? Our upcoming clinics will cover rules, scoring, and techniques in a supportive setting.

We'll have dates, times and locations shortly.

Pickleball is more than a sport—it’s a way to move, think, and connect. And if it’s not your thing, AARP has plenty of events to keep you engaged and healthy in 2026.
