National Pickleball Day
August 8, 2025-August 8, 2025 -
USA, USA
Pickleball was developed in the summer of 1965 by some friends in the Pacific Northwest.
Originally played by adults or children in the backyard, pickleball has grown in popularity and now even has its own national organization: the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA). With simple rules and low-key equipment, the game offers exercise and fun like tennis, but it’s a bit lower maintenance and perhaps taken a bit less seriously.
Now, with more than 3.5 million folks supporting the sport, pickleball continues to grow in scope and popularity throughout North America and even all over the globe.
National Pickleball Day was established in 2021 by pickleball instructor Deirdre Morris. The purpose of the day is to raise awareness for the game and encourage more people, young and old, to consider playing this amazing sport!
In the US, this day is celebrated on August 8, while it takes place in Canada a few days later, on August 12. In the month of April, fans can celebrate National Pickleball Month.
