Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports both in Montgomery County, and nationally. Pickleball is a fun, fast-paced, but low-impact sport that is a combination of several classic games – badminton, tennis, and table tennis.

It’s played on either a shared court with tennis (players use existing net or bring their own net) or a dedicated court with a tennis-like net that is 34 inches high. The sport uses paddles slightly larger than ping pong, and a plastic whiffle ball.


The eleventh meeting of the Commission on Redistricting will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 20 from 5 to 7 p.m. The public will be able to watch the meeting’s livestream on the Montgomery County Council’s Facebook page and YouTube page here. The meeting will also be televised on County Cable Montgomery (Channels 6 and 996 on Xfinity, Channels 6 and 1056 on RCN and Channel 30 on FiOS).  

During the previous Commission on Redistricting meeting on Oct. 13, the Commission discussed three potential redistricting maps. In order for the Commission to continue its work to deliver a final map to the County Council, they will not be holding a public comment session on Oct. 20; instead, they will meet to review the maps and may vote on a final map to send to the Council as part of their eleventh meeting.
