How To Find Pickleball Courts In Your Area – Updated 2020

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the US and around the world. According to the US Pickleball Association (USAPA), the sport has grown 650% over the last 6 years.

A lot of tennis players also play pickleball because of the similarities between the two sports. For beginner tennis players, pickleball is easier to learn than tennis.

One of the challenges new pickleball players run into is finding a pickleball court near them. No one wants to drive 20 miles to a pickleball court. Also, the closer the courts are to you, the more likely you are to play often and stay fit.
