Pickleball is a casual paddle sport played with a plastic ball similar in design to a Whiffle ball. Invented in Washington state in 1965, pickleball has been described as the fastest-growing sport in the US since 2021. According to a study carried out by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, pickleball has nearly five million players in America.

Pickleball has grown so much in popularity recently that athletes in very non-The-Ocho sports, like LeBron James and Drew Brees, have invested in professional pickleball teams because, of course, Major League Pickleball exists now. The sport also has a specially-formulated beverage called “Dink,” which is also real.
