      Introduction

      Pickleball was originally designed as a backyard game for children in the mid-1960s.

      The sport features some characteristics with other racket sports, such as the size and layout of a badminton court, as well as a net and regulations that are comparable to those of tennis with few modifications.

      Its rapid growth is attributed to its popularity among community centers, physical education programs, public parks, private health clubs, YMCA facilities, and retirement communities. Thousands of pickleball tournaments (events) are held every year all around the United States, including the United States Pickleball National Championships and the United States Open Pickleball Championship.

      Chapter 1 

      Pickleball History

      ––––––––

      Pickleball was invented as a children’s backyard pastime. The game started during the summer of 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, at the home of former State Representative Joel Pritchard. He and two of his friends, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum, returned from golf and found their families bored one Saturday afternoon.

      They said their bored children were driving them nuts. They attempted to set up badminton, but no one could find the shuttlecock. They improvised with a wiffle ball and ping pong paddles. Their children were having fun immediately. Within a few days, they lowered the badminton net and fabricated paddles of plywood from a nearby shed.

      Pickleball caught on fast with their friends and neighbors. People began creating their own paddles by cutting jigsaws and marine plywood. Lowing the net was an easy option for those with access to badminton courts. In the past, people set up courts in their driveways and backyards with chalk. By 1965, most of the regulations had been worked out through word of mouth.

      Pickleball's name is a bit of a mystery. It has been suggested that it is derived from the co-founder's Cocker Spaniel, Pickles, who would chase the ball and run off with it.

      Characteristics of the Game

      A key goal was to make the game fun and accessible for all ages and all family members. The founders wanted to avoid having player size and strength dominate the

      game. In tennis, a strong serve is vital and the serve is the most important shot of the

      game. About one third of the points scored in tennis come directly from the serve. So, in

      tennis, if you don’t have a powerful serve, you cannot achieve much success.
