“The Health Benefits of Pickleball”

Fearrington Cares Education Program 

GP Large Room

Art Gonzales, a 76-year-old resident of Fearrington Village, has been enjoying pickleball for the last six years. Along with others, he’s responsible for increasing the pickleball membership in Fearrington to more than 100 residents.

Art will help us appreciate the benefits of pickleball through videos, presentation of published articles, and hands-on experience. His topics will include the growth of the sport in the over-50 age group; physical and mental health benefits; and how pickleball compares to other sports including tennis, ping pong, and racquet ball.
