On one side, young people are busy climbing the climbing wall. Others collect their bags and prepare to leave the area. As they leave, a young girl looks to the other end of the room. “What is their sport?” I don’t know what it is, it looks like some kind of tennis,” she blurted before slipping away, without waiting for answers. In Cires-lès-Mello (Oise), at the Céline-Goberville gymnasium, a new kid has appeared in recent months: pickleball.
This discipline, practiced by several million Americans, is still little known in France but is slowly taking off in the department: the Margny-lès-Compiègne tennis club is in the process of familiarizing its members with this practice; In La Chapelle-aux-Pots, it is a club entirely dedicated to pickleball which was launched two years ago.
