Funny Pickleball Names
Are you familiar with all the funny names in Pickleball? Check out Kim’s latest article on our website, with a bonus! It didn’t all fit in The Villager, so you can read the whole article on our website, instead of waiting two weeks!
Pickleball didn’t start with a serious name—so the names of shots never stood a chance! Pickleball is one of the few sports that arrived with a built-in sense of humor. The name itself sounds more like a backyard experiment than a competitive game—and instead of correcting course, the sport embraced it. Read all about it here!

Was that Ball In or Out???
We’ve all made a call we believed was clearly in (or out), only to have our opponents see it differently. In the moment, that can be frustrating—but Kim’s article on In and Out Balls puts those situations into perspective. She does a great job explaining how line calls are often influenced by the angle and viewpoint we have of the ball.
It’s a great article to read—and to take to heart. In the end, remember: it’s just a game. 😊
