As the saying goes, when opportunity knocks, open the door. Over the past few years, Laura Gainor has heeded this ageless wisdom by transforming an unexpected opportunity into a flourishing career promoting the sport of pickleball.

While many adults throughout the United States are avid pickleball players, many of their own kids are taking to the courts with enthusiasm about learning more about the fastest growing sport in America.

As awareness of pickleball has hit an all-time high, demand to play the game has consequently eclipsed the supply of courts available for all types of players. Courts are being built at a record pace in municipalities, recreational centers, and fitness centers and several privately developed facilities have been announced as well.
