Woodlands boy is an emerging force in youth pickleball
Think pickleball is just for adults? This 12-year-old, known as Pickleball Pierce, is owning the court.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- When Pierce Behr hits the Pickleball court, he has one goal in mind. That is to win.

"No Mercy," Behr said. "I want to go out there and destroy everybody that I play."

The 12-year-old, also known as Pickleball Pierce, picked up the game two years ago and has already become a force on the court in the youth circuit.
