[15:24] WHY IT'S CALLED PICKLEBALL?
[15:26] IN THE SUMMER OF 1965 IN WASHINGTON,
[15:29] JOEL PRITCHARD, BILL BELL, AND BARNEY MCCALLUM
[15:32] IMPROVISED THE GAME USING A BADMINTON COURT, PING PONG PADDLES, AND A PLASTIC WIFFLE BALL TO ENTERTAIN THEIR BORED KIDS. JOEL'S WIFE, JOAN, TOOK ONE LOOK AT THEIR THROWN TOGETHER GAME AND THOUGHT OF A PICKLE BOAT IN ROWING. THE LAST BOAT IN A RACE MADE UP OF ALL THE LEFTOVER ROWERS. AND SINCE THEIR NEW, MADE UP GAME, WAS A MISS-MASH, JOAN THOUGHT 'PICKLEBALL' FIT PERFECTLY, AND THE NAME IS STUCK EVER SINCE. SO NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE GAME, COME ON OUT AND MAKE SOME HISTORY OF YOUR OWN.
