Thanks for the history lesson. However to learn all the details of how pickleball developed, find a copy of our book " The History of Pickleball, More Than 50 years of Fun." It took over 4 years to research and recognize those who volunteered to allow us to enjoy the game today!

Highly recommend the History of Pickleball, More than 50 Years of Fun. Jennifer Lucore, one of the authors, is in the Pickleball Hall of Fame and spent years researching the topic. She was a close friend of Barney McCallum, one of the founders. Btw, some of the info in her book disagrees with the information presented in this video.

Great Job! This answered many questions about the beginnings of Pickleball. The thought that Pickles, the dog, was the way the name came about, I believe was added after the fact! Keep up the great videos! Your voice is easy to listen to!!!

I still fail to realize what a boat and oarsmen have to do with the game and how Mrs. Pritchard could associate the two.

How can this narrator say ~ "Pickleball Icons", without bursting out in laughter?

@americanhistorygeek1926 Жыл бұрын

Pickleball like any other sport, takes time and dedication to master at a high level. The icons mentioned above are all some of the best players in the U.S. and the world, a feat that I'd respectfully argue is not easily reached!

Pickle ball is a fad

Not sure I agree, it's actually the fastest growing sport in the U.S. right now!

I think it will stay around because of the ease of learning to play it. The beginning player with minimal racket experience can play on day one. That's not typical of most sports. I was a tournament level racquetball player in the '70s. Racquetball courts are springing up everywhere in the growth was phenomenal. As quickly as it came it left. Today it's a small fraction of its former self. But there's a difference. The learning curve to be good at racquetball with significantly different. Pickleball is very easy to learn and a lot of fun for beginning player. And you can play it at any age. So more than likely I think it'll stay around. Also you're noticing a lot of younger people are playing the game. So it really is a game for old ages.
