HOW DID WE GET HERE?

Our story begins with friends looking for a fun and engaging way to stay active and healthy. We tried several different sports and activities, but nothing seemed to stick – until we discovered pickleball.

One of our friends had heard about this new sport called pickleball, a combination of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. We were decided to give it a try.

We found a local community center that had some pickleball courts and started playing every week. At first, we were terrible. We had no idea what we were doing and couldn’t keep the ball in play for over a few seconds. But there was something about the game that kept us coming back.

We loved the challenge, the fast action, and the social aspect of playing with friends. As we dove deeper into the world of pickleball, we found ourselves scouring the internet for tips, tricks, and advice on improving our skills.

We watched countless videos, read endless articles, and connected with other players on social media, soaking up every bit of knowledge we could find. But despite the abundance of information, we found no resource that catered to players of all levels and backgrounds and no platform for us to share our own experiences and insights.

That’s when the idea for our pickleball blog was born. We wanted to create a space where players could come together to learn, grow, and connect with others who shared their passion for the game. A place where beginners can find the information they need to get started, and seasoned pros can discover new strategies and techniques to take their game to the next level.
