Where it comes From

Pickleball was created in 1965 in the United States. A few friends were trying to set up a game for their families but didn’t have the right equipment, so they improvised with what they had.

They lowered a badminton net, picked up simple wooden paddles, and started hitting a plastic ball back and forth. The rules were shaped naturally as they played.

What began as a casual summer experiment grew steadily over the decades. Today, pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, expanding across North America and now into Europe, including Switzerland.
