Humana Inc., a leading health and well-being company, is taking pickleball on the road to celebrate their ongoing commitment to creating experiences that enable health, enhance activity, and foster connectivity.

As part of the ‘Invite’ campaign launched earlier this year, Humana is inviting older adults to ‘get in the game’ with pickleball pop-ups that will transform three mall locations into vibrant hubs of movement, play and connection, offering community members fun and accessible opportunities to stay active. These events are an extension of Humana’s nationwide collaboration with Simon®—a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations—to invite mallgoers to get moving and get healthy.

Each pop-up event is designed to highlight the physical, mental and social benefits of pickleball with intentional programming that blends on-the-court activity, off-the-court fun and educational health resources. At each stop, participants can take center court for both reserved and open play, as well as enjoy appearances by pickleball pros and fitness personalities, health tips and opportunities to connect with their communities. The event will feature:

• On the Court:
  • Clinics: New to the game of pickleball? We’ve invited the Association of Pickleball Players (APP) and Humana coaches to provide lessons at the event and welcome both veterans and newcomers alike into the world of pickleball.
  • Reserved Play: For those wanting to skip the line, select court times are available to reserve ahead of the event at Humana.com/pickleball.
  • Open Play: Courts will be available day-of for walk-on play for participants who don’t have a reservation.
• Off the Court:
  • SilverSneakers® Warm Ups and Cool Downs: High-energy sessions will help participants prepare, stretch and shake off the competition on the court.
  • Backcourt Refresh Station: To support participants looking for a timeout, the station will be equipped with refreshments and recovery tools like massage devices, resistance bands and zero gravity chairs.
  • Community Care: Guidance on injury prevention and healthy living resources.

Humana’s pickleball pop-ups are open to the public at no cost. To learn more, visit Humana.com/pickleball.
