There is something special about the sport of pickleball, and our guest on this episode put it to the test in some of the most difficult circumstances.

Roger BelAir had a vision to take pickleball into the prison system. He has taken it into not just any prison system, but some of the toughest in the world.

The reaction that he is getting from those that he is serving is astounding!

He formed a non-profit to help support his program and it is taken off. A true "movement" has been started and it will be fun to see how far it goes.
