With National Pickleball Day just days away, Chicago is getting in the game early.
Ace Pickleball Club brought paddles, pros and energy to ABC7 Eyewitness News. General Manager CeCe Trausch and senior pro Joe Mlaka showcased the sport, shared health benefits, and played a live match with the station's morning crew.
"Pickleball is for everyone," said Trausch. "It's fun, social, and easy to learn."
Ace Pickleball Club, with 16 locations nationwide, offers indoor courts, clinics, tournaments and open play without the need to reserve in advance.
National Pickleball Day is August 8.
