“We also play at Paradise Pickleball, a 21-court facility in nearby Palm Desert. Arriving as the morning sunshine dries up the previous evening’s rain, we practice what Figueroa taught us. Our serves are deeper, rallies longer and winning shots more pointed. Two hours later, I wipe the sweat off my face and pack up my bag, noting that every other court has players on it. “This is our busiest time of the day,” says Miles Pelky, who opened the facility in December 2023 with his wife Uta Hamblen after getting hooked on the game.”
