Roger BelAir Brings Pickleball to the Criminal Justice System

Roger BelAir has been an advocate for the sport of pickleball for many years and was even a friend of one of the founders, Barney McCallum. BelAir is on a personal mission to share the game and all of the benefits that come with it with others. He has been featured on the front page of USA Today and also on Pickler (thanks to Pickler writer, Frank Cerabino). But, you may be surprised at which segment of the population he is bringing the power of pickleball to, as it may not be the first segment that comes to mind. Roger BelAir is responsible for bringing pickleball to the criminal justice system – in particular, some of our countries’ largest institutions like Cook County Jail in Chicago or Rikers Island in New York City. Now, BelAir hits the mic on Pickler The Podcast, with co-hosts Stacie Townsend and John "The People's Champ" Davison, to tell us more about what drives him in sharing his time and services for free to bring pickleball to the criminal justice system, as well as how the sport of pickleball impacts detainees and inmates across the country. Tune in to learn more!
