Pickleball gains fans in GR

A growing sport, combining aspects of tennis, ping-pong and badminton, has earned fans in Green River.

Pickleball might not be a sport many people are familiar with, but anyone going to the Green River Recreation Center Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning will likely see a group of people playing on the gym courts. Classes teaching people how to play have been hosted at Western Wyoming Community College's Green River Center as well.

"I play in Arizona when I'm there and I play in Michigan when I'm there, it's big everywhere," Jerry Slebiska, a player at the recreation center said.
