I tried joining free, drop-in pickleball games at my neighborhood community center for a while, and was rather put off to find that a large percentage of players were wealthy people of leisure who drove all over the county using free local courts, demanding that pickleball be offered on all days and at all hours on courts that used to be available for locals to play tennis, and griping about the sketchiness of various neighborhoods in the city. Fun game, unpleasant crowd, at least it was few years ago.
