Tom Brady is playing his 23rd season in the NFL. Although the 45-year-old signed a lucrative deal with FOX Sports as an NFL analyst, he might look at some options. Looks like, after a glorious NFL career, he will not give his mind and body a rest. In fact, the NFL GOAT is jumping ship to a new up-and-coming sport, pickleball. This new sport pulled famous faces like LeBron James, Kim Clijsters, a six-time Grand Slam tennis champion, Drew Brees, and many more.

Pickleball is a fun outdoor as well as an indoor game. It combines elements of badminton, tennis, and ping-pong. The game was invented in 1965. With a typical court size similar to a badminton court or a tennis court with modifications, it may be played both indoors and outdoors. Paddles and a plastic ball with holes are typically used to play the game as singles or doubles. According to the U.S. Sports and Fitness Industry Association, there will be 1,193,000 pickleball players among college graduates in 2020. The sport increased by 21.3% between 2019 and 2020.

Pickleball is currently the nation’s fastest-growing sport, with 4.8 million players. The U.S. Pickleball Association reports that interest in the sport has increased by 39.3% over the last two years.
