Temple Terrace Pickleball Makes Headlines
Local advocates of the sport were featured recently on Fox 13.
It was lights, cameras, action at the Temple Terrace Family Recreation Complex recently as a crew from Fox 13 visited to find out more about pickleball. The sport, similar to tennis with some unique distinctions, has become a popular pursuit locally since it was introduced at the recreation center back in January. The news crew spoke with players and instructor Manny Mariani to get a lesson in the game. Mariani explained the sport’s cardio value and said “it’s almost like being at the gym for two hours.” To check out Fox 13’s video, visit the station’s website. Want to learn more about pickleball?
