Let me say first that I've played tennis for years. I was introduced to pickleball a couple years ago, playing it just a couple times and getting away from it for whatever reasons. I recently started playing again and i really enjoy the game. I've seen many comments from tennis people bashing the game, saying it's for unathletic people. That's not fair- I'm still athletic, playing other sports and love pickleball. It's great for older folks and those with injuries. I'm hoping it sticks around and keeps people active. Btw, this is a great origin story.

Hello Pickelball Channel! I am from the Philippines. Pickleball here is just growing crazily all over the country. I would like to ask your permission to use this exact video as a reference in our school-based Pickleball program, we are called Lyceum of the Philippines-Cavite Pickleball Club. We included Pickleball in our school curriculum which is why hearing words and the story behind from the pioneers and the developer himself will be a great inspiration and motivation to our students. Thank you. :)

I told my wife I never thought I would be this active and having such a great time as I am playing Pickleball 3 days a week and table tennis 3 days a week. Thank you Barney from the bottom of my heart.

Love these stories about how games develop. Similarly boredom being the mother of invention for my brothers and I during the hot UK summer of 76. A local pub dumping the empties at a quiet car park, some creative lads and then behold the non stop fun and peril of bottle breaking was born! You held the neck of your bottle and the opponent endeavoured to demolish yours in one blow. If they failed it was your turn. If the base broke off and enough length was left then another strike was given. If you pulled away a helpful brother would hold your hand on the neck for the opponent to strike. Great days! and boy did we search for the thicker bottles of whisky back then. Shame it never really caught on. But many a long day ended standing proudly atop a pile of glass of myriad shades.

What an awesome story! I grew up in the Seattle area. My game was tennis back in the 70's 80's and 90's, though I did try pickleball a few times, playing on my brother-in-law's home court around 1979. Nobody really knew what they were doing and, as a tennis player, I found it a bit boring. Fast forward to present, when I no longer play tennis due to various injuries. I discovered pickleball...again. They say we get addicted to pickleball. It's true! I play 4 days a week, enter tournaments, and absolutely love it. Thanks Barney for creating such a life-enhancing sport that is perfect for all ages! :)

I taught Pickleball in high school PE classes, using wooden paddles with Whiffle balls, playing on a shortened tennis courts. It was the most favored sport played during the school year. Students had to learn the history and I still share the story. Joe Pritchard and Bill Bell created the game in 1965. It was fun, fast, and for the family. The game was called Pickle’s ball because the family dog kept stealing the ball. As the game progressed, the game was called Pickleball. GREAT video! Thanks :)

You know for me, coming from a sports minded background/family/friends, I can easily connect with this story. Its very inspiring p, to say the least. My Dad had single handedly been responsible for the construction of and indoor (4 court) facility for competitive Badminton back in the early 60s. Sometime before the advent of this very inspiring story. As a competitive Badminton player myself, I refer to outdoor (picnic, camping and backyard) Badminton as goodminton! The real sport is not out there in the elements, because that defies any rationale. Yet when I see these folks actually made Pickleball first and how it's exploded in popularity, brings me to tears since I can connect with it on a personal label/experience in so many ways. That's all! Cheers!

I was just fun! As a kid I played tennis and later played table tennis which i thoroughly enjoyed. But pickelball is probably also addictive. We played on a gym floor, so the feel of the paddle and ball took a little getting used to. Will have to give it a go...as they say. Now to select a paddle??? Plywood, cardboard, plastic, aluminuim, titanium?

In our small 60 k city we now have over 600 club members paying dues and playing regularly in church halls, local school gyms and rec centers . The city has converted low use tennis courts into a nice outdoor facility with 12 courts that are free play . The arrangements made with indoor facilities for hall rentals keeps the indoor session cost at$3 per two hour session. Need more halls. We are in St Albert, which is a suburb of Edmonton, so need good exercise in long winters. Half of club membersbspend time in winter in Arizona or California where they play more.

In the 70’s someone brought Pickleball to BC’s Sunshine Coast. My family sold sports gear and we had to bring in the whiffle balls because someone set up a cul-d-sac in our town called Pickleball Crt which is still there. They’d set up lines and a net that came out every summer. Had to be an early part of the history too!
