Have you become a Pickleball devotee yet?  If not, the La Crosse area Ys have you taken care of.  Pickleball is basically a fun sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It is played on a badminton court with a low net.

But hey, this is the Y so there's a lot more to it than that.  One of the coolest things you'll discover when you play Pickleball at the Dahl or Hauser Y is the community.  Never played?  Come on in.  You say you're an expert?  Come on in.  You'll feel good and make great friends.

Enjoy our conversation with Homer and Deb Mills who discovered Pickleball a few years ago.  Want to guess who's the more competitive?  You'll just have to listen to find out.
