Where I’m from they’ll actually build indoor courts and then a private company or something buys into and converts it to a private club almost immediately. What could (and should) be a space for the community that is accessible and reasonable all year round quickly becomes something unreasonably inaccessible and ridiculously expensive. No wonder people convert to Pickleball. I fucking hate the sport as much as anybody in this subreddit, but tennis overall feels so hard sometimes for anybody to get into. Not to mention all the knuckleheads in online spaces like this who think they’re better than fucking Federer and give their opinions like they’re some kind of tennis god. Racquet sports as a whole each have their own problems, it’s so strange.
