Some San Marcos residents have serious enthusiasm about a funny-named sport. Jacquelyn Carter has more in this Bobcat Update.
It's called Pickleball. Pickleball is a paddle sport that could best be described as a cross between badminton, tennis and ping pong. Rumor has it the sport got its name after one of its co-inventors took a ball from his family dog Pickles. One thing led to another and the rest is history.

SU: It was designed to be easy to learn for people of all ages and athletic abilities. In the past 10 years, the growth of Pickleball has exploded -- mainly in senior communities in the U-S and right here in San Marcos.

The program became so popular that the San Marcos Activity Center added new courts for participants. These players say it's fun.
