PICKLEBALL IS NOT A SPORT PROVE ME WRONG
WHY IS NO ONE PROVING ME WRONG
I WIN.
It’s absolutely a sport, and since no one else has taken a minute to prove you wrong, I guess I will.
According to the dictionary definition, a sport is: An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively
Pickleball is an activity with a structured set of rules and customs set by the USAPA which define how the game is played. Pickleball unquestionably involves physical exertion- pretty much in all the same ways that Tennis does, it’s just on a court that is a little bit smaller but requires all the same physical exertion.
Pickleball also clearly requires skill and very good hand eye coordination in order to hit a moving ball with a small paddle.
Finally, Pickleball is very competitive. Many people play in leagues where everyone keeps track of the scores of individual games as well as each person’s win/loss record. I myself am part of a pickleball league, we just finished our season and we will start an official postseason next week!
Pickles not included, I’m not interested
