Celebrating the Joy of Pickleball: A Guide to National Pickleball Day
Celebrate National Pickleball Day! Discover the fun of pickleball with games, history, and community events. Join the excitement! 
Happy National Pickleball Day! Every August 8, enthusiasts and newcomers alike unite to celebrate one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States. This year marks 57 years since pickleball first graced the world with its unique blend of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton elements, creating a sport that’s both accessible and enjoyable for all ages. Here’s how you can join in the fun and celebrate National Pickleball Day in style.
The History of Pickleball
It all started in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, when Joel Pritchard and his friends, faced with bored families and missing badminton equipment, invented pickleball as a game to keep everyone entertained. Using Wiffle balls and improvised plywood paddles on a badminton court with a lowered net, they crafted a new sport that would eventually captivate millions.
In the years that followed, Barney McCallum, one of the co-founders, manufactured and sold the first paddles specifically designed for pickleball, establishing Pickleball, Inc. in 1972. Pickleball gained further recognition with its first championships in 1984, and then internationally when it was included in the Special Olympics in 2002.
The sport’s popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, leading to the establishment of National Pickleball Day in 2021 by Deirdre Morris, a dedicated pickleball instructor. Her mission was simple but impactful: to promote the sport and encourage more people to play.
