Summer Pickleball Program 2016
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball was founded in 1965 by 3 friends from
Bainbridge, Washington. They were bored and looking
for something new to do. When they attempted to play
Badminton they couldn’t find a shuttlecock so they used a
wiffleball and lowered the net. They also constructed new
paddles out of old plywood from their shed. They changed
the name from Wiffleball and began calling it Pickleball as
it mimics the game of Badminton, Ping Pong and Wiffleball.
One of the friend’s dogs was named Pickles and his
children would constantly shout, “Pickles bring that ball
back here!” And so, Pickleball was born!
Benefits of Pickleball:
• Smaller rackets make striking the ball easier
• Provides an overall fitness workout that’s fun
• Teaches hand-eye coordination
• Legs, arms and mid-section get a great workout
• All ages can enjoy the game and it’s easy to learn
Description: Site: Learn the Skills of Pickleball to include the
serve, groundstrokes, volley and rules of the
game. For ages 10 and up.

quality; so much to explore – once you
know what to look for!
