<p><b>Pickleball</b> is a <a href="/wiki/List_of_racket_sports" title="List of racket sports">racket or paddle sport</a> in which two players (singles) or four players (doubles) use a smooth-faced paddle to hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball over a 34-inch-high (0.86 m) net until one side is unable to return the ball or commits a rule infraction. Pickleball is played indoors and outdoors. It was invented in 1965 as a children's backyard game in the United States, on <a href="/wiki/Bainbridge_Island" class="mw-redirect" title="Bainbridge Island">Bainbridge Island</a> in <a href="/wiki/Washington_(state)" title="Washington (state)">Washington state</a>. In 2022, Pickleball was named the official <a href="/wiki/State_sport" class="mw-redirect" title="State sport">state sport</a> of Washington.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Aspects of the sport resemble <a href="/wiki/Tennis" title="Tennis">tennis</a> and <a href="/wiki/Table_tennis" title="Table tennis">table tennis</a> on a doubles <a href="/wiki/Badminton" title="Badminton">badminton</a> court, but pickleball has specific scoring rules, paddles and court lines. On each side of the net is a 7-foot area (2.1 m) known as the <i><a href="/wiki/Non-volley_zone" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-volley zone">non-volley zone</a></i> (or the <i>kitchen</i>); a player standing there may not strike the ball until it has bounced. The hard plastic pickleball produces less bounce than a <a href="/wiki/Tennis_ball" title="Tennis ball">tennis ball</a>. The limited bounce, non-volley zones, and underhanded stroke, with which all serves must be made, combined with hard drive shots and overhead smash shots, give the game a dynamic pace.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After its introduction in 1965, pickleball became a popular sport in the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Northwest" title="Pacific Northwest">Pacific Northwest</a> region of the United States and gradually grew in popularity elsewhere. By 2023 it was estimated to have over 13.6 million players in the United States.<sup id="cite_ref-SFIA2024_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SFIA2024-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For three years in a row, 2021, 2022, and 2023, the sport was named the fastest-growing sport in the United States by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association. The growing popularity of the sport has been attributed to its short learning curve, its appeal to a wide range of ages and fitness levels, and its low startup costs. </p><p>Two professional tours were established in the United States in 2019 and shortly thereafter two professional leagues were established. Pickleball is also growing in popularity outside the United States with a professional league already operating in Australia, and another being developed in India for the 2025/26 season. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pickleball&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Etymology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The game was created in 1965 on <a href="/wiki/Bainbridge_Island,_Washington" title="Bainbridge Island, Washington">Bainbridge Island, Washington</a>, at the summer home of <a href="/wiki/Joel_Pritchard" title="Joel Pritchard">Joel Pritchard</a>, who later served in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">United States Congress</a> and as <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_Governor_of_Washington" title="Lieutenant Governor of Washington">Washington's lieutenant governor</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Pritchard and two of his friends, Barney McCallum and Bill Bell, are credited with devising the game and establishing the rules.<sup id="cite_ref-HistoryLink_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HistoryLink-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>According to Joan Pritchard, Joel Pritchard's wife, "The name of the game became Pickle Ball after I said it reminded me of the <a href="/wiki/Pickle_boat_(pickleball)" class="mw-redirect" title="Pickle boat (pickleball)">pickle boat</a> in <a href="/wiki/Rowing_(sport)" title="Rowing (sport)">crew</a> where oarsmen were chosen from the leftovers of other boats."<sup id="cite_ref-Pritchard_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pritchard-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Similarly, the game of pickleball was created from leftover equipment from several sports; a <a href="/wiki/Badminton" title="Badminton">badminton</a> court, <a href="/wiki/Paddleball" class="mw-redirect" title="Paddleball">paddleball</a> paddles, a <a href="/wiki/Wiffle_ball" title="Wiffle ball">wiffle ball</a> and a net height like that of tennis.<sup id="cite_ref-HistoryLink_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HistoryLink-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Other sources state that the name "pickleball" was derived from the name of the Pritchards' family dog, <i>Pickles</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-hoffman_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hoffman-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Pritchards stated that the dog came along after the game had already been named, and it was the dog that was named for the game of pickleball.
