ABOUT PICKLEBALL
Pickleball began right here in Washington State on Bainbridge Island in 1965. Three dads came home to find their kids complaining of boredom. They grabbed ping pong rackets, a whiffleball, and set up play on a badminton size court. One of the families had a dog named Pickles who wouldn't stop chasing the balls. From there, a new sport and its unique name were born.

Today Pickleball is played by over 3 million people in the United States.
