Pickleball
Join us and learn pickleball a fun and vigorous game played on a badminton court. Described as a combination of table tennis, tennis, and badminton, pickleball uses a simplified combination of tennis rules and strategies.
Created in 1965 by U.S. Congressman Joel Pritchard, William Bell, and Barney McCallum, the game was to provide a sport for the entire family. Pickles, the family dog, would chase after the errant balls and then hide in the bushes, thus Pickle's ball was later shortened to "Pickleball". Initially, families played Pickleball in their backyards on a hard surface, on driveways, and on residential dead-end streets. Since the mid-1970s, Pickleball has grown and expanded from a family activity game to a paddle court sport with formalized rules. Now, over 20 years later, Pickleball is played in thousands of schools, parks and rec centers, camps, gyms, college campuses and retirement communities.
