  • Summary

  • Lindsay Newman and Riley Newman discuss the growing popularity of the Pickleball. They describe pickleball as a unique combination of badminton, tennis, and ping pong, played on a smaller court with a durable whiffle ball and paddles slightly larger than ping pong paddles. The main reasons for pickleball's rising popularity include its social atmosphere, where players interact closely and have fun together. The lower cost of entry and accessibility of facilities make it appealing to a broader audience. The sport's adaptability allows players of all ages to enjoy it, from children to seniors. They also mention that pickleball is receiving more media coverage, including mentions by celebrities and athletes like Drew Brees, which contributes to its increasing visibility. We believe that as more countries embrace the sport, it could potentially become an Olympic sport in the future.
