Pickleball Breaks Out in Prisons • Roger BelAir teaches pickleball in some of the most well-known gated communities—maximum security prisons, that is. San Quentin, Folsom State Prison and California State Prison in Sacramento to name a few. Hollywood filmmaker Daniel Ostroff has been working on a powerful documentary, “Pickleball in Prison™,” which chronicles Roger’s journey and how the game is a force for good, breaking down barriers and promoting positive social interactions, which can contribute to rehabilitation.

HOT SHOTS! • Only two players in pickleball’s 60-year history have developed a shot so unique, so difficult and so bold that the sport has established shots named for them.

Super DUPR Girl • Meet Aline Morales, 13, from Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Be afraid, pickleball world. Be very afraid.
