Pickleball Game Views

• General Goods

Pickleball is a racquet sport which combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. The sport is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court. The net is lower than most other racquet sports allowing for faster play. The game is played with a hard paddle and a wiffle ball, making the technique required for pickleball different than other sports.

Pickleball was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington by William Bell, Joseph Lambo, Barney McCallum, Mr. Cutler, Anthony Seiter (RN), and Joel Pritchard, a congressman from Washington. The sport was named after the Pritchards' dog, Pickles. Until recently, the game had little following outside the Pacific Northwest.[1]

Deming’s doubles partner, Brian Davis, explained the history of pickleball. Invented 40 years ago in Seattle, legend has it the game gets its odd name from Pickle, a dog owned by one of the inventors. Pickle would scamper to retrieve the ball when a shot was missed. As they called, “Pickle! Ball!” the game’s name was made. The legend says that two inventors were passing time in one of their backyards and made up the rules as they went along.

As a tennis player for years, he needed a different sport after injuring his shoulder. The badminton-sized court of pickleball is less area to cover, the Wiffle ball is slower than a tennis ball and the mostly underhand strokes are easier on the shoulder joint. After playing the game, his sentiment had changed.
