What is Pickleball?
A popular new sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and life-sized ping pong. Pickleball allows for the same fun and social aspects of tennis while only requiring a quarter the space! It does not take the rigorous skill, proficiency, or physical fitness of tennis lessons either. Pickleball lines can also easily be added to any existing tennis court transforming it into a multiuse recreational facility.
Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in America. It can be played in singles or doubles. The rules are simple, and the game is easy to learn. Playgrounds, apartment, and condo complexes are flocking to add these courts to their amenity packages, but you can also have one right in the comfort of your own backyard. The game can be enjoyed by all ages and skill levels. It is easy to start but hard to stop.
Pickleball Doubles Strategy
Pickleball involves strategies that include lobbing, overhead slamming, passing drive shots from the baseline, and fast volley exchanges at the net. The key strategy to remember is that the team that reaches the front court in a net volley position first will be in the best position to win the point. Again, the most effective position of play is when both players on the same team are side-by-side in the attack position directly behind the non-volley zone line.

The game with the funny name, pickleball is a very interesting and fascinating sport. The game was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Right outside Seattle, Washington.
In the beginning when Joel Pritchard and Bill Bell created the game, they were trying to pass time with their families. Little did they know that they were creating a sport from what was once a neighborhood game. Today, more than 3 million Americans are playing the game that they created. Pickleball courts can now be found in the thousands in educational facilities, health clubs, parks and fitness centers all across the nation!

I would highly recommend a Deshayes Pickleball Court to everyone. You won’t be disappointed.
“I had a DeShayes Pickleball Court installed at my home a few years ago and my family and I couldn’t be happier.

We had such a wonderful experience from start to finish with this company. We did a lot of research and received a huge range of prices and “sales” of what we “need”. Joe and his team asked the right questions, took the time to review the property, assess our wants and needs and came up with the perfect solution and price! It was great to hear the options we could have according to wanted. Great company!!! – Trish
