Wow! I thought our sport was exploding before. Now the word explosion almost under describes the growth. How about tsunami? This just in from USA Pickleball. The 2023 Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s (SFIA) Topline Participation Report was released today, announcing that pickleball continued to be America’s fastest-growing sport for the third year in a row. According to the report, pickleball participation almost doubled in 2022, increasing by 85.7 percent year-over-year and by an astonishing 158.6 percent over three years. “After anticipating the 2023 SFIA report and its …

During the year, people throughout Pickleball Nation email us or use our NominateAPlayer.com website to tell us about their favorite players. They tell us about players who have dominated in tournament play, but many times they also tell us about players who have had tremendous impacts on their communities or towns or even the game of pickleball overall. (We really like those.) Throughout the year we may recognize a player, club or community of the month, or we may give a simple Facebook shout out. They are all deserving. But once a year, we pull together all the nominations and feedback,…

Simply turn on the TV and on any given weekend you’ll see players competing in tournaments and leagues across the country and around the world.

The spin serve is here to stay. What???? Seems like everyone is buzzing about the possibility of USA Pickleball banning the spin serve starting in 2023. And people are worrying about how we are going to be able to call it against our opponent if a referee is not there to do it for us. We’ve read the proposed rule change and one critical thing popped out. It states that a ball will naturally have some spin on it when it leaves your hand during the serve. That is very true.
