Happy days are here again for the sports and fitness enthusiasts as the Covid-19 alert has gone down to a level that allows gyms to operate and contact sports to be played again.

The up-and-down trend in Covid cases has put the sports and fitness industry in topsy-turvy and on-and-off mode.

Some 30 to 40 enthusiasts play the net game whose popularity is growing and is attracting more players from all levels, young and old alike.“Honestly, it’s not that hard to get some playing time with different groups around Metro Manila simply because we all share same love for pickleball. There are more fellow enthusiasts each day and this pandemic gave way to pickleball grow faster,” Reyes said.

“It’s actually a great workout, hence, the amazing health benefits. Playing pickleball is so much fun to me personally because I truly love this sport mainly due to making lots of good friends. To say the least I’d say am not only addicted to it but it’s also turning out to be my passion.” Other martial arts schools catering to younger students never stopped operating even during the stricter Covid-19 alert.

Meanwhile, the elite athletes from different National Sports Associations never stopped training as they prepare for the 2022 Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam set in May.
