The ultimate keepsake for every pickleball fan--from a dink shot to
the kitchen, everything a pickleballer needs to know in this fully
illustrated guide to the world's greatest recreational sport, packed
with lots of joy, good humor, and even a little bit of wisdom.
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America. Easy to learn, but
impossible to master, it's no wonder that nearly 5 million people
nationwide have picked up their paddles and taken to the court. But
people aren't just dabbling in this up-and-coming activity, they are
obsessed; some hit the court as many as five, six, even seven times a
week. As Vanity Fair put it, pickleball has "won over everyone, from
Leonardo DiCaprio to your grandparents."
Pickleball Is Life is the first book of its kind celebrating the weird
and wonderful world of pickleball. It will take readers on a journey
from the sport's quirky origins to its modern-day cult following. Along
the way, visual info graphs and illustrations will share even more
pickleball knowledge, including etiquette tips, a DIY court, obscure
rules, and pointers for (good-natured) trash talk. Also included are
interviews with members of the three founding families from Bainbridge
Island who are still very much involved in the sport and its growth.
People of all ages, athletic abilities, and backgrounds have fallen in
love with pickleball. Sure, it's a good workout, but it's also a
cheerful way to interact with others--something folks crave now more
than ever. So, whether they're uninitiated or obsessed, this book will
help readers find even more to love about the world's greatest sport.
