Pickle ball is a recreational sport that originated on Bainbridge Island in Washington state. It is similar to tennis, but the players use plastic balls instead of racquets. In 1965, Joel Pritchard and Bill Bell invented the game. They wanted something new and exciting for their children, as they were tired of playing the traditional game. They used a badminton court as a starting point and created the game.
Pickleball was soon a popular pastime in the Pacific Northwest. It was played across all 50 states by 1990. The game had also become a nationally recognized sport by the end if the decade. Today, over four million people play the game every year.
Although the sport started in a backyard in Washington, pickleball has gone on to become an international phenomenon, attracting people from all over the world. One of the first pickleball tournaments was held on the west coast, and the first national tournament was held in Arizona in 2009. The sport has seen tremendous growth, with more than 4,000 clubs in the US and nearly four million people playing it. The sport has grown to be a major national player thanks to the United States Amateur Pickleball Association.
Pickleball was created as a way for the family to have fun. Three dads heard their kids complaining about being bored. Instead of taking their kids to the movies or to a pool, they set up a board game in the backyard of their house. At first, the rules and equipment were not very specific. No one had ever played this game before. As the sport gained popularity, it was made a recognized sport.
An article about the sport was published in 1975. The article was a major boost for the sport. It was written about by The National Observer. Tennis Magazine named it as America's Best Racquet Sport. The Other Racquet Sports also published an article on the sport.
The game was eventually introduced to Olympia, Washington. Pickleball was made a sport for both men and women. Eventually, it was even introduced to the Senior Olympics. This was significant as it brought in hundreds of athletes. But, the sport didn't get much recognition until after ten-years, when it was ranked among the most popular in the country.
Pickleball was once a simple game. However, this changed when paddle technologies were developed. The first paddles, made from wood, were not accurate enough. Composite paddles started to emerge by the mid-1980s. Composite paddles were made from fiberglass and had honeycomb cores.
By the end of the 1980s, it had been established that the USAPA was a legitimate organization, and the first Executive Director and President of the organization was Sid Williams. He served as president from 1984 through 1998. Frank Candelario was elected to succeed Williams. Both Williams, Candelario and their respective sports industries had a rich history.
