Fun Facts About Pickleball

Pickleball was invented in 1965 by three fathers from Bainbridge Island, Washington to entertain their kids.

Despite the name, pickleball has nothing to do with pickles.

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and  table tennis. 

Pickleball is almost equally popular among men and women, with 53% of players being male and 47% female.

Pickleball is helpful to hand/eye coordination and cognitive function, and increases muscle activity.

Using a version of a plastic wiffle ball, pickleball is played with an elongated  table tennis paddle on a badminton-sized court. 

5 Basic Rules:

Pickleball

for All

  • No volleying in “the kitchen,” (also called the no-volley zone), unless the ball bounces there immediately before your volley.
  • The serve and the return of serve must both bounce before being struck.
  • You must strike the serve with an underhand swing at the baseline.
  • Serves cannot land in the no-volley zone.
  • Players can decide to play games to 11, 15, or 21 points.
