What is Pickleball? Pickleball is considered a paddle sport similar to a racquet game that combines the elements of badminton, tennis and ping pong. It is played with a solid paddle and a perforated polymer ball based on the same principle as a wiffle ball. The game is played on a pickleball court with volleying over a net between 2, 3 or 4 players. The game originated in 1965 by former State Representative Joel Pritchard when he and a couple friends were pursuing a friendly game of badminton. When the “shuttlecock” came up missing, Pritchard through innovation created a new game by incorporating wooden paddles from his shed, replacing the shuttlecock with a wiffle ball and lowering the badminton net by a couple of inches. Due to its popularity, The National Pickleball Championship has been featured on the CBS Sports Network.
The Tellico Village Pickleball Club (TVCP) was created with a mission of promoting athleticism through the play of Pickleball and to encourage social engagement amongst the residents of Tellico Village. Not only do they offer their own in-house tournaments, they also offer on-going workshops and training for those interested in learning the sport.
