World Pickleball Day was observed a couple of weeks ago, on October
10. But for a growing number of people with limb difference, any
day-or every day-can be pickleball day. Amputees who´ve taken up the
game (and their numbers are rapidly growing) say pickleball offers
all sorts of benefits, both physical and social.
It´s easy to learn, it´s accessible to athletes of all ability
levels, and it doesn´t require a lot of expensive equipment. You can
play on a prosthetic leg or in a wheelchair, and limb-different
players can (and routinely do) compete against able-bodied
pickleballers.
