This constant drive for innovation fuels the growth and excitement surrounding the sport.
  5. What’s Next?
    As pickleball continues its meteoric rise, it is difficult to predict what the future holds. Despite being an increasingly popular sport, it is important to note that it is still in its early stages of development. This presents an exciting opportunity for further technological advancements and rule modifications to improve the sport’s effectiveness, entertainment value, and safety. Furthermore, there is a lot of potential for expansion in the rapidly growing professional leagues, which can lead to new opportunities and increased exposure for the sport.
