It is unlikely that you’ve missed seeing an article, blog or news segment about the astronomical growth of Pickleball in the U.S. Or maybe your local tennis court has been taken over by throngs of zealous Pickleball enthusiasts; they’re everywhere of late. This quirky sport is touted as the fastest growing sport in the country. A 2022 report from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association numbered Pickleball players at 4.8 million nationwide, an almost 40 percent increase between 2019 and 2021, with an estimated 35,000 courts in the U.S., more than double the number of courts five years ago.  The game, with its low barrier to entry and inclusive spirit, has exploded into a big business with no shortage of innovative entrepreneurs and eager investors.
