Pioneering Americas Fastest Growing Sport
I learned something today that got me very excited. The fastest-growing sport in America was born here in Washington on Bainbridge Island on a sunny Saturday afternoon in 1965. The sport was created by two dads looking to fill the afternoon with some family fun. They didn't have enough equipment for badminton, so they improvised and brought ping pong paddles and a rubber ball with slats to an old badminton court at the edge of their property. Over the course of two weekends and with the addition of another dad, and I can only assume more than three beers, the invention of pickleball entered the world.
