ITP is a newly built complex featuring tennis courts, padel, and 19 outdoor pickleball courts,\u201d Escobedo recommends.<\/p> <p>Escobedo enjoys ITP because \u201cthey\u2019re always creating different events throughout the month, and the facility has plenty of space to relax and hang out with friends over food or drinks. Now that winter is coming, we\u2019re especially excited to hear that 11 indoor courts will be opening in December.\u201d<\/p> <p>\u201cI started playing pickleball at the end of February. My husband invited me to try it, but honestly, I didn\u2019t enjoy my first time \u2014 I couldn\u2019t hit the ball, and the rules felt so confusing.

Sportsmanship abounds. It attracts people of all ages. According to Gitnux (April 11, 2023), pickleball has an 85% retention rate, meaning most participants continue playing after their first experience.<\/li> <li>According to NPR, Bloomberg, and the Pickleball Channel, cross-generational play happens more in pickleball than in most other sports.<\/li> <li>NPR states that it is less physically demanding than tennis or other sports \u2013 but still contributes to being healthy. It is easier to play than tennis. Pickleball is accessible for players who are young enough to still be developing fine motor skills and those who are older or recovering from past injuries. It\u2019s easy to learn, but there\u2019s plenty of room for advanced players to compete.<\/li> <li>Pickleball can be played indoors or outdoors, on dedicated pickleball courts, or re-purposed badminton, tennis, or basketball courts.<\/li> <li>A pickleball game doesn\u2019t require a large space. If you have a badminton or tennis court, you can play pickleball on it with very little modification. The court is almost the same size as a badminton court, making it easier on the body than tennis.<\/li> <li>More people are playing, which makes it easier to find games than badminton.<\/li> <li>It\u2019s more of a physical workout (typically) than table tennis, so people like it for the physical benefit. Most recreational pickleball players play doubles, which makes the smaller court more fun. And because the court is smaller, you can fit more courts in a space than tennis.<\/li> <li>You can play doubles or singles \u2013 this makes pickleball great for all ages and abilities.<\/li> <li>It\u2019s easy to learn the rules. If you\u2019re new to pickleball, don\u2019t worry; it won\u2019t take long to understand the basic rules of this game. There are a few rules to understand that are different, but within an hour of instruction, most beginners are able to start playing a game.<\/li> <li>It is relatively inexpensive. You need a paddle ($20-300), sneakers, and a place to play. With more parks and neighborhoods opening courts, all you need is a group to play with.<\/li> <\/ul> <p><strong>Why has pickleball exploded in popularity in recent years?<\/strong><\/p> <p>The \u201cPickleball Adventure\u201d talks about how Erin McHugh turned her love for pickleball into media with a book titled “Pickleball is Life” that explores everything from etiquette to how to build a DIY court at home. She has also helped build two courts and developed a fitness program for new students.<\/p> <p>“When you love pickleball, I think you become a little bit of a missionary,” she said. “You want everybody to play. You want everybody to be as happy as you are.”<\/p> <p>She says she chose the title for her book because of the benefits she’s seen from playing the sport.<\/p> <p>“What I’d like to think about more is: why isn’t life more like pickleball?” she said. “Pickleball is easy. You can always get better. Anyone can play. You can teach anybody. It’s inexpensive. You get healthy. You meet new friends. What else is there?”<\/p> <p><strong>What are your three best tips for first-time pickleball players?<\/strong><\/p> <p>Three tips for first-time pickleball players:<\/p> <p>1. Get a lesson or go to a clinic. While you can learn the basics on your own, a good lesson or clinic will help you learn the why behind the shots, the proper way to execute them, and how to get into the local community games.<\/p> <p>2. Play a few times in the first week or two. The more you get on the court, the more you will understand the rules and some of the basic strategies behind the game. This will help you with the drive to play and the feeling of connection to others around you.<\/p> <p>3. Remember it is fun. You can work hard to improve your skills but don\u2019t lose sight of the fun of the game. It is ultimately why so many start playing in the first place.<\/p> <p><strong>How can pickleheads find new pickleball courts in their city?<\/strong><\/p> <p>There are some good pickleball apps to find courts:<\/p> <ul> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/pickleplay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PicklePlay<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/pickleball\/id1262785848\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pickleball+<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.places2play.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Places2Play<\/a><\/li> <\/ul> <p>Many communities have clubs \u2014 like Indy Pickleball Club \u2014 you can join that have benefits to finding courts and competition. Most tennis clubs have pickleball now. Schools and universities are adding courts all the time, like the new Butler courts.<\/p> <p><strong>Pickleball’s popularity is causing a popping problem. How can venues best prevent irritating neighbors with pickleball noise?<\/strong><\/p> <p>Tennis isn\u2019t a silent sport, but the pickleball sound has a higher frequency which bothers some people. Existing neighborhood courts \u2014 often converted tennis courts \u2014 have been adding a sound barrier to help.<\/p> <p>New courts should be planned:<\/p> <ul> <li>With trees around them (that also block some of the wind)<\/li> <li>A decent distance from any homes<\/li> <li>With a time limit for play during typical sound ordinance times.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Invite the neighbors to be part of the pickleball community. If they don\u2019t want to play, they can be part of the social aspect.<\/p> <p><strong>Bonus pickleball info:<\/strong><\/p> <ul> <li>USA Pickleball states that 130 new locations are added per month \u2013 the database as of Jan. 2023 includes 10,724 known locations in North America.<\/li> <li>Though it was invented in 1965, its meteoric rise in the past 3 years now includes professional players, other professional sports people getting involved in teams, collegiate championships (and scholarships), pickleball in schools, pickleball in retirement communities, an increase in prize money for all levels of tournaments, grant money for communities and schools (USA Pickleball), etc.<\/li> <li>The sport has become so popular that approximately 6 million pickleball players are playing 20 million games a year. According to the USA Pickleball organization, there are more than 70,000 USA Pickleball members (30% more than in 2022).<\/li> <li>The Washington Post and the 2022 Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) state that the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated player numbers. The estimated number of players by 2021 was 4.8 million US players. CNBC (Jan. 5, 2023) stated that according to a new report by the Association of Pickleball Professionals, the number is closer to 36 million people who have played pickleball. 14% of Americans played at least once in a 12-month period, and 8.5 million played eight times or more.<\/li> <li>\u201cIt\u2019s all about equality,\u201d says Anne Worcester, a strategic adviser for Major League Pickleball. \u201cAll ages can play \u2014 all genders, all geographies, indoors or outdoors. It\u2019s fun, it\u2019s social, and it\u2019s easy to pick up regardless of athletic ability. It\u2019s affordable and inexpensive. Pickleball meets every consumer need.\u201d Though pickleball is known as a sport for older generations, it\u2019s popular for players of any age. The age range with the most overall players is 18-34 years old, but players range from six years old to 75+.<\/li> <li>According to SFIA\u2019s most recent numbers, the largest age demographic is still 65-plus (849,000 players last year), though younger players aren\u2019t far behind \u2014 787,000 ages 25 to 34; 600,000 in 18 to 24; and 610,000 in 35 to 44. Players tend to be white, college-educated, and earn at least $100,000 annually.<\/li> <li>There are no current studies on the job growth rate for pickleball. However, clubs like Lifetime (nationwide) have added permanent courts to 30 clubs, communities across the nation are adding courts, pickleball pros, and new pickleball clothing lines, and professional pickleball teams and television stations are being added around the country. Job growth for pickleball has skyrocketed nationwide.<\/li> <li>It is a social game. You can create your own group to play with or a group of individuals can come together to play. That\u2019s called \u201cdrop-in\u201d pickleball and is very popular in places that have it. There is greater growth in the sport when you offer places for people to play who don\u2019t know other players.<\/li> <li>It\u2019s a competitive game. You can find fun and competitive games at all levels. You don\u2019t have to be \u201cgood\u201d to find some fun games that fill your competitive spirit. With the traditional classification system (similar to tennis), people can match up with others at tournaments around the world to compete for medals, money, and a variety of prizes.<\/li> <li>There are lots of opportunities for promotion. The American Pickleball Association offers various online courses and certification tests that allow you to become a certified pickleball referee, and you can play in tournaments.<\/li> <\/ul> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <div id=\"expert-zanean-mcclain-phd\" class=\"mb-10 border border-gray-200 p-4 cursor-pointer lg:block\" x-bind:class=\"{'lg:border-theme-green block': focusedExpert == 'zanean-mcclain-phd', 'hidden': focusedExpert != 'zanean-mcclain-phd'}\" @click=\"openExpert('zanean-mcclain-phd', 'expert'); expertIsFocused = true\"> <div x-bind:class=\"{'items-center': focusedExpert != 'zanean-mcclain-phd', 'items-start': focusedExpert == 'zanean-mcclain-phd'}\" class=\"item mb-4 hidden lg:flex\" @click=\"openExpert('zanean-mcclain-phd', 'expert')\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Zanean-McClain.png\" alt=\"Zanean McClain\" class=\"m-0 mr-3 w-16 h-16 object-cover rounded-full lg:w-20 lg:h-20\"> <div> <div x-bind:class=\"{'trim-label': focusedExpert != 'zanean-mcclain-phd'}\" class=\"text-sm leading-5 mb-2 text-black font-medium\">Z\u00e1Nean McClain, Ph.D. <\/div> <div x-bind:class=\"{'trim-label': focusedExpert != 'zanean-mcclain-phd'}\" class=\"text-sm leading-5 mb-2 text-gray-800\">Professor of Kinesiology<\/div> <div x-bind:class=\"{'trim-label': focusedExpert != 'zanean-mcclain-phd'}\" class=\"text-gray-600 text-sm\">California State University, East Bay<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"hidden lg:block\" x-bind:class=\"{'lg:hidden': focusedExpert == 'zanean-mcclain-phd'}\"> <button class=\"flex items-center text-theme-green open-details\" @click=\"openExpert('zanean-mcclain-phd', 'expert'); expertIsFocused = true\">View Answers <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 20.243 13.501\" class=\"w-4 ml-2\"> <path data-name=\"Icon ionic-ios-arrow-round-forward\" d=\"M12.909.258a.919.919 0 00-.007 1.294l4.275 4.282H.907a.914.914 0 000 1.828H17.17l-4.275 4.286a.925.925 0 00.007 1.294.91.91 0 001.287-.007l5.794-5.836a1.026 1.026 0 00.19-.288.872.872 0 00.07-.352.916.916 0 00-.26-.64L14.189.283a.9.9 0 00-1.28-.025z\" fill=\"#48a27a\" \/> <\/svg><\/button> <\/div> <div class=\"details fixed top-0 left-0 bg-white h-screen z-10 overflow-scroll w-screen lg:w-full lg:relative lg:h-auto\" x-cloak x-show=\"focusedExpert == 'zanean-mcclain-phd'\" x-transition:enter=\"transition ease-out duration-100 transform\" x-transition:enter-start=\"opacity-0 scale-95\" x-transition:enter-end=\"opacity-100 scale-100\" x-transition:leave=\"transition ease-in duration-75 transform\" x-transition:leave-start=\"opacity-100 scale-100\" x-transition:leave-end=\"opacity-0 scale-95\"> <div class=\"bg-theme-green p-4 mb-4 pb-20 relative text-white lg:bg-white lg:pb-0 lg:text-theme-green lg:mb-8\"> <button class=\"close-details mr-4 mt-2 absolute top-0 left-0 flex items-center ml-4 lg:mt-0 lg:ml-0\" x-on:click.stop=\"closeExpert('zanean-mcclain-phd')\"> <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 20.243 13.501\" class=\"w-6 mr-2 fill-current\"> <path data-name=\"Icon ionic-ios-arrow-round-forward\" d=\"M7.334 13.243a.919.919 0 00.007-1.294L3.066 7.667h16.27a.914.914 0 000-1.828H3.073l4.275-4.286A.925.925 0 007.341.259a.91.91 0 00-1.287.007L.26 6.102a1.026 1.026 0 00-.19.288.872.872 0 00-.07.352.916.916 0 00.26.64l5.794 5.836a.9.9 0 001.28.025z\" \/> <\/svg> Close <\/button> <\/div> <div class=\"item text-center px-4 w-full text-center -mt-20 relative z-20 pointer-events-none lg:hidden\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Zanean-McClain.png\" alt=\"Zanean McClain\" class=\"mt-0 mb-3 mx-auto w-32 h-32 object-cover rounded-full border-white border-4 shadow-xl\"> <div class=\"text-base leading-5 mb-2 text-black font-medium\">Z\u00e1Nean McClain, Ph.D. <\/div> <div class=\"text-sm leading-5 mb-2 text-gray-800\">Professor of Kinesiology<\/div> <div class=\"text-gray-600 text-sm\">California State University, East Bay<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"px-4 lg:px-0\"> <p><strong>What makes pickleball different from tennis, ping-pong, and badminton?<\/strong><\/p> <p>The equipment and size of the playing area are the main differences between all four.

However, pickleball players must let the ball bounce.<\/li> <li>The paddle is also smaller and solid as opposed to a longer and stringed racket.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>In comparison to ping-pong:<\/p> <ul> <li>Pickleball can be more intense.<\/li> <li>Additionally, in ping-pong, players can serve however they wish.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Thus, while pickleball takes elements from each of these games, it maintains unique features that make it appealing.<\/p> <p><strong>Why has pickleball exploded in popularity in recent years?<\/strong><\/p> <p>Pickleball has existed since the 1960s but has gained popularity in recent years \u2014 partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In a time when people were shut in and practicing social distancing, pickleball allowed socializing and exercising to happen in a safe manner.<\/p> <p>The pandemic was not the only factor in the rise in popularity. Pickleball is a fun game that provides avenues to socialize and stay active more broadly. With unique rules and a smaller court size than tennis, pickleball is a lower-impact sport \u2014 which makes it more appealing to individuals of a wider age range.<\/p> <p>Another factor to consider is the cost. While not fully accessible to all, the sport is cheaper than many recreational sports requiring club memberships. A paddle is likely the most expensive necessity, ranging from $75 to $200.<\/p> <p><strong>What are your three best tips for first-time pickleball players?<\/strong><\/p> <p>1. The first and most important tip is to become knowledgeable about the rules. While venturing into any new activity can induce nerves, understanding the game can help ease anxiousness.<\/p> <p>2. Like tennis, ping-pong, and badminton, pickleball players want to keep their feet moving and their knees bent. Stagnant feet will put you at a disadvantage, and keeping your knees bent will put you in a position to return the ball.<\/p> <p>3. The last tip I will share is being sure to keep the ball low over the net for your return, which will minimize the options opponents have to return.<\/p> <p><strong>How can pickleheads find new pickleball courts in their city?<\/strong><\/p> <p>Aside from potentially hearing pickleball being played in your city\/neighborhood, individuals can utilize websites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.places2play.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Places2Play<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickleheads.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pickleheads<\/a>. Individuals can search their city and even addresses to find nearby pickleball courts.<\/p> <p><strong>Pickleball\u2019s popularity is causing a popping problem. How can venues best prevent irritating neighbors with pickleball noise?<\/strong><\/p> <p>1. The first and most important strategy that venue owners and potential pickleball venue owners should enact is consulting with community members. A cause of frustration could come from a lack of communication and reasonable compromises, which can be avoided if venues establish a relationship with the community.<\/p> <p>2. Next, there are sound barrier options that venues could install in order to reduce the popping problem, such as those found <a href=\"https:\/\/pickleballsound.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p> <p>3. Additionally, in consultation with community members, strategic hours of play could mitigate frustration. Having play end at a reasonable time during the working week and before people wind down for the night is a potential solution.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"methodology\"><span id=\"behind-the-ranking\">Behind the ranking<\/span><\/h2> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To rank the Best Cities for Pickleball, we compared the 500 largest U.S. cities across 11 metrics.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our pickleball metrics covered 3 major themes:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Access (60%):<\/strong> The number of pickleball facilities, pickleball courts, dedicated pickleball courts, free-to-play pickleball courts, recreation centers, and pickleball tournaments. <\/li> <\/ul> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Community (28%):<\/strong> The number of pickleball Meetup groups, pickleball clubs registered on USA Pickleball, MLP premier-level teams, and MLP challenger-level teams.<\/li> <\/ul> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Popularity (12%):<\/strong> The average monthly local Google searches for pickleball keywords, adjusted per 100,000 residents.<\/li> <\/ul> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For each of the 500 biggest U.S. cities, we then gathered data on each factor from the sources listed below the table.

A city\u2019s Overall Score is the average of its scores across all factors and categories.
