The first time I heard the name pickleball, I thought it was a joke. Then I found out how to play and I thought it sounded boring. It wasn’t until I finally went out and played that I found out how fun it really is. There’s a reason why the sport is sweeping the nation. Here’s some pickleball stats.
- 50 million – the estimated number of people that watched the Pickleball Championship Finals held in the USA
- 2.8 million – number of pickleball players in the USA alone in 2017
- 3 million – expected number of players by year end 2018
- 385% Increase in numbers of places to play pickleball since 2010 (A place to play is defined as just that – a place to play. It can be anything from a gymnasium with pickleball lines to a facility designed specifically for pickleball)
- 64 percent: Increase in membership in the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) since 2010
